We arrived slightly before check in time but the welcome seemed somewhat lukewarm. Neither of our rooms were ready, which is fine, but there seemed little enthusiasm by the staff to see if they could be expedited. The hotel, and rooms were all clean, but nothing to set it apart from others.

Stayed here while visiting Reims for an overnight from Paris.
Delightful staff and well appointed hotel. Room was large and offered a small terrace overlooking the interior courtyard and some views of the city center.
Walkable to and from the train station and to the city center with a myriad restaurants and shops.
Staff was super helpful in arranging some tours at nearby Champagne houses and restaurants.
Highly recommend, especially for the price!

We enjoyed our stay and will use the hotel again.
Positives:
Location! Bedrooms were modern and in good condition. Lounge and courtyard are great spaces. Superb french breakfast.
Negatives:
Tight underground parking spaces. Restaurant was full, so book ahead. Lounge bar is slow and has little/no? food offering.

The location is excellent. Can walk to the train station but we took a taxi for 8 euro due to heavy luggage. Centrally located in area with restaurants, shops and tourist attractions.
Staff extremely helpful throughout our visit with directions, taxis, and restaurant suggestions. Would stay here again.

Very convenient location in quiet central street, not far from Cathedral ad opposite nice shopping centre, and with underground (limited height) parking. Privilege rooms are large and modern, with large bathroom including bath and Italian style shower. KS very comfortable bed with nice linen. The food was very disappointing and so was the service. Items on menu did not fit description at all- my chicken 'émincé' consisted of a leg of roast chicken ad a few extra bits. When we complained that the Champagne Tiramisu was not at all a Tiramisu - and tasted 'off', the Maître d'H was called and said 'what do you expect me to do with it- eat it myself' - which was more than extremely rude !

We stayed here for 4 nights. We stayed last year a slightly different period but it is still perfect for us. The staff are really friendly and helpful and speak English enough to understand. The hotel is a proper hotel in so much as their is a safe in the room, coffee making facilities, fully stocked fridge, iron and ironing board etc ensuite bath/shower toilet etc, tv and a big comfortable bed. We took our computer and Sky plus Extra so we could download and watch too when we were back (don't forget hdmi cable to stream to tv...! Breakfast is superb, the hotel bar is very good and if you pay €14 a night you can park underneath in their car park. The hotel is in the centre of Reims so it is very good all things considered. We actually stayed over the New Year and forgot that most of France closes over this period 31st dec - 2nd Jan but there are some eateries open - you've been warned- ha ha! The hotel though is open for breakfast every morning and lunch in the next door (book in advance) restaurant. The restaurant does serve exceptional food and is priced accordingly.

Open on a Sunday . Breakfast is expensive but there are enough cafe around for that . It's a good place to stay for a short trip .

I recently stayed in this hotel for 1 night while traveling to the area for Champagne tasting. If you blindfolded me and took me to this hotel and then revealed it inside I would never believe it was a Best Western. It is a cool convenient city center property. Room was a good size, as was the bathroom with a separate WC. Shower had great pressure. Happening bar in the lobby. The breakfast was decent and opened early. We took the TGV train which is about a 15 min ride by taxi. The local train station is closer. Great base to see Reims and to tour the region.

Very nice hotel. Would definitely stay here again. Only 10 mins walk to the train station. Right in the centre of everything. I had a room at the front and yes was a bit noisy on Fri and sat nights but you just close the window all rooms have air con.
Bathroom fabulous best shower ever!
All the staff were so friendly and helpful.
Bar very nice and the breakfast buffet was yummy.
So much to do in Reims hotel is right near the main street with numerous cafes restaurants and lovely patisserie's.

We stayed in Reims for one night. Best Western is centrally located. Easy walk from train station. Hotel itself is ok. Nothing facing. Interior actually fairly worn out and dated. Bed was comfortable. Room pretty small.
The front desk staff was extremely helpful. We had trouble organizing a taxi and became late for a Champagne Tour appointment. One of the hotel staff drove us at no charge. Very, Very nice of them. All staff very nice, helpful.

Never seen so many dogs in a posh business hotel! Secure parking was limited (book in advance) and cost extra but very useful (be prepared to leave your key with reception, however). Very central location. Not especially good value for money but good quality medium sized room with coffee and tea-making facilities. Didn't try the very expensive breakfast buffet.

This is a hotel which accomodates congresses and conferences but a private person can and should stay here too. The facilities are excellent, the people are friendly, the rooms well set up and impeccably maintained. We were here when they were absolutely filled to capacity, but the front desk still had time to show us how to get to where we wanted to, lend us an umbrella and generally exemplified the motto 'grace under pressure'. This is a good place to explore Reims since it is in the city center and the region as well, as they have a parking garage (costs a per diem fee).

It is exactly what you want and expect from a hotel.
A couple of things let it down.
The cleaning of rooms was below par. Dirty wine glasses not being dealt with and bed sheets being poorly changed.
A huge flat screen TV dominates the wall of this small room.
The pool is small and in need of repairs as the non slip bottom is all coming off the entrance steps.
Great shower.

Stayed here last night, to be near the train station for a train today. Walked up without a reservation, was able to get a better rate than what was available online, with breakfast thrown in as a bonus. Very friendly clerk made it easy.
The room was very compact but modern, nicely styled. There was also a cool-looking lobby bar that unfortunately I was too tired to try.
This morning, on my way to breakfast, I asked about checkout and was told it was at 11 am! I was clearly surprised, so another very friendly clerk asked if I wished to checkout later, which was not a problem. That gave me time to visit the cathedral and still be fresh for my train.

Most of the hotels in Reims are affiliated with chains. So is this one - Although, I believe it is family operated. It is very clean - it is an excellent location - the staff is very helpful. Nice looking bar. It has a garage if you have a car and the fee for parking is €14 per night. It's a good value for the money.

Everything about this hotel is very smart. Do book underground parking even though it is chargeable as from what I could see there is little other parking around the hotel. Rooms are well appointed but lighting rather gloomy. The restaurant is amazing .... very good food indeed and I would recommend booking as it is very popular.
I would definitely stay again.

I don't know why I was surprised actually, it's the most expensive hotel in the city but it was a belter. You could not ask for more. Stunning rooms, elegant lobby, super restaurant and bar, Bret seating area in a courtyard and gym and sauna.
Parking is cheap and directly opposite and the desk staff very helpful.
The city itself is beautiful and we would recommend a visit in the summer. Winter may be a bit cool. Definitely go to a champagne house. We went and did the Mumm tour.

We really enjoyed our time in Reims, but the hotel was a perfect microcosm of our day there.
The guy at the check-in desk was one of the most capable, professional, friendly, engaging, intelligent people I've encountered in the service industry. A++.
But there's only one elevator on our side of the hotel and it's small, so when two people have luggage for 2 weeks, things get tight.
The room was a very nice size along with the bathroom. The area surrounding the hotel has tons of very good options for food.
When I went to load the car to depart the next morning, they had re-parked it in a space so small, I couldn't get to the driver's door. That was annoying and felt unnecessary. They had to get the car for me.
But we found a great place for a quick breakfast. Ciabatta bread sandwich. I should have ordered 5 of them.
So, pros and cons.

This hotel is in a great place, just off the street where there are a lot of shops and cafes, within walking distance of the cathedral. Our rooms were pleasantly decorated, and they have everything you need. We had breakfast one morning but thought the room was a little boring and the breakfast nothing to write home about. So the next day we went to a cafe on the high street and sat outside which was excellent. We tried the bar one night, which was busy and very nice.

Stayed in Reims for 1 night on a WW I battlefield tour. This is a really nice hotel-the staff at check in and the bar are very friendly and accommodating. We had room 240 which is an upgraded room with a view overlooking the street. We thought it might be noisy but it was as quiet as could be. The room was very nice, clean and the beds were great. Breakfast was included in the room rate and it was very good-lots of selection at the buffet, hot and cold, and well stocked. The hotel has parking attached to it but it takes a lot of perseverance to find it. If you are standing in the street looking at the hotel, it's a very small gated opening to the right. Cost was 14 euros a night. It was warm when we were there and the BW does have air conditioning so that was a really nice bonus. You cannot beat this hotel's location. Come out of the hotel, turn right and there is a pedestrian mall with a lot (and I mean a lot) of restaurants for every taste. We ate at "Apostrophe and it was very, very good.

This hotel is great for location to station and all local attractions. The wineries are also within walking distances. The staff/service is faultless. The only negative which is quite significant is the bed is extremely uncomfortable and resulted in pain in both of our backs.

A great hotel located in the middle of Reims.
Hotel de la Paix boasts large, clean rooms, a fab bar and is surrounded by loads of restaurants and shops. It is also a very short walk from the stunning cathedral.
Many of the large champagne houses (Veuve Cliquot, Taittinger, GH Mumm) are all a short drive away from the hotel.
This hotel should definitely be considered for a stay in the city of Champagne.

The Hotel is just half block to the "tourist pedestrian area" with many shops and restaurants etc. You can really go walking to many "must see" places in Reims from there. We only stayed two nights as our schedule was tight but could see all I wanted for a first visit, thanks to its location. I will definitely come back and stay there again. Good in room amenities, very good breakfast as well, and a friendly staff. WiFi wasn't very good all the time though... A keeper !! ;-)

Best Western isn't necessarily known for 5 star hotels but this is really an exception.
Situated right at the heart of the city, close to where the action is and walking distance from the tourist attractions, such as the Cathedral. Standard rooms aren't that big but they are very well designed with a perfect lay out and modern facilities. A nice bar, and a calm and peaceful inner courtyard, make it a pleasant experience. Their restaurant is top quality with a great service and a very good price/performance relatio. On the way to our room 123 it was a bit gloomy on the ground floor in the "lobby" and it could easily have been made a little bit more attractive. Underground parking at the hotel has to be reserved, which they forgot to tell us, however opposite the Hotel is a fantastic multi floor public parking, where parking cost you Euro 16,- for the whole night.

Plenty of storage and a comfortable bed. Wifi wasn't great in our room though... Breakfast was good with plenty of choices and the location was superb, walking distance to the train, shops, restaurants. Reception staff were friendly and helpful in arranging tours to Champagne houses. Did an amazing day tour to Epernay visiting Vueve Cliquot and a small producer with Vine Escape. Also enjoyed a beautiful dinner at 3* Michelin L'Assiette nearby

The room itself was excellent, with everything in it - home from home - tea/coffee facilities, iron/ironing board, room safe, awesome bathroom! Nothing to fault - loved it here!!

Overall a good experience. Staff were fantastic!
Rooms were good although a bit on the small side - but clean and modern.
Breakfast was also good - worth the 17 Euros per head, especially if you're an early riser as very little is open at 7am. However, on the morning we had breakfast at 7am they were still setting up most of the buffet stations which isn't good enough. And there was no way to get anything other than filtered coffee from a big urn (no machine or barrista) - again, at this level I would normally expect a barrista / machine.
Pool was good - great to have one after a day of champagne tasting!
However, I would recommend this hotel and would stay again. Also recommend you pre-book parking. It's cheaper than the public car park opposite the hotel! I'm glad we did.

This hotel is less than 10 minutes from the motorway but right in the heart of Reims. There is parking available if you prebook or parking across the street in another car park, I think. The hotel parking was 14 euros a night. Not only is this hotel in a great location, it is a really nice hotel. The staff were really friendly, efficient and helpful. The room was modern, decorated to a very good standard and the bed was large and comfy. The room was large enough for.us to comfortably set up our babys cot. There was also a little seating area in the room. The air conditioning was modern and efffective. A range of English channels on the TV including BBC 1. The hotel is in walking distance of lots of restaurants, shops and the cathedral and the city is a lovely place to walk around. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Reims.

You can't beat the location; right in the centre of town and within walking distance of the cathedral and Palace of Tau. I wasn't happy that breakfast was not included in our room, when I thought it was. Like most a la carte hotel breakfasts, the food was fine, but it was expensive for what you got. Still, I'd stay there again and recommend it.

Hotel very central. Parking very good. Room a bit disappointing only because it was quite small and the bathroom door was smoked glass. However, it was very clean, and had coffee making facilities.

Arrival wasn't great, someone staying in the hotel had blocked the carpark entrance and so we had to wait nearly 30 mins for this to be resolved, I know it wasn't the hotels fault directly but it certainly wasn't ours and so a gesture would have been appreciated, one night free parking maybe?
We booked a large premier room so had plenty of space and a good size bathroom with separate shower and bath. Although we were on the front of the hotel we didn't hear excessive street noise and so slept well.
We tried to visit the bar on our first night but service was painfully slow and so we left, we did enjoy drinks in the courtyard on the second night but had to ask for the table to be wiped and for snacks to accompany the drinks.
All in all good hotel in a central location for visiting the champagne houses of Reims.

We booked Taittinger tour and needed a hotel for the night. It was our anniversary so treated ourselves to a more expensive hotel with a pool and in the centre of town so we could walk to restaurants.
Having just left the centre of Brussels at a brilliant hotel for two nights for £200. This hotel at £145 for the night was very expensive in comparison. So we expected great things.
Parking is secure and under the hotel. 14€ per 24 hours.
You press a buzzer and tell them who you are for entry.
Our immediate reception was frosty. Probably because I refused to swipe my card for extras. I had paid in advance. If I want anything else in the hotel I will pay as I go. I think the art of holding money against your card is antiquated and insecure.
Secondly they want to hold your car keys. My Husband thought it was for security but we read a notice in the lift that said it was so they could move your car. We went back to reception and stated we absolutely did not give permission for anyone to move or go into our car. They were not insured. We don't understand this request as we were parked in a space not blocking anyone. So why would the hotel need to access your car in any way? Clearly don't have the same car insurance rules as we do in the UK. There's large pillars down there. Very easy to hit something. How on Earth we would prove it if something had been stolen or damaged?
The room was modern design. Very soulless and smelt of chemicals. Shower room modern and purposeful. There's a minibar. Nespresso machine. Free bottle of water left but they didn't put that in the fridge. Aircon. Wifi was good and strong signal. Just BBC channels in English and news. TV was in the wrong place. No dressing table/chest of drawers. So no where to put things like hairdryer and make up. The room was more design over function. View was the road. Hotel wasn't busy, always give out good rooms when you're not busy. Encouraged people to come back and give good reviews.
Swimming pool was freezing cold despite advertising it was heated. Steam room didn't work. Sauna was fine. Pool was difficult to get into and very dirty. Needs a good clean.
Outside area was lovely, nice features. But staff were busy serving their friends. We noticed the friends got snacks and nuts with their drinks. Us and another English couple didn't. It was very obvious we were being treated differently. They were constantly asked for more drinks. We didn't get asked once. So left after the first round.
All in all we wouldn't go back. We wouldn't recommend it either.
Wish we had saved our money and booked the Holiday Inn, Ibis or Mecure as they were all nearby and were around £85 a night. We didn't benefit from spending that extra £60. Compared to what we had just stayed in, in the capital city centre of Belgium too. It doesn't compare. Town was soulless too. Very expensive food. Not sure why Reims thinks it's above other cities in France we have visited for cheaper. Our advice is visit the champagne houses then stay elsewhere.

We stayed here for 5 nights in a 'Classic Room with Queen Bed'. The room was great. It was modern, spacious by European standards, and clean. It had a lovely view towards the cathedral.
The hotel is very well located with plenty of restaurants and and shopping nearby.
We took breakfast on one morning at the hotel and it was simple yet plentiful, and reasonable value. We generally like to go outside the hotel for breakfast, however we had difficulty finding something that was open early close by(7-8am ish). Next time I would book breakfast with my room.
All in all this is a good hotel, in a good location, with friendly and helpful staff.

Having stayed here many times we found there has been some degree of updating.The rooms are modern and inviting, comfortable beds, good air conditioning. Other changes are 3 breakfast options and the availability of light lunch in the bar area. Will certainly be staying here on our next trip to Reims

Centrally located and only ~ 7 min walk from train. We travelled with our 2 older children and got 2 rooms next to each other. Very clean. Walked everywhere.
We don't normally book American hotel chains in Europe as we prefer a local experience. We were pleasantly surprised with the international ambiance at La Paix. Bathrooms large with tubs and separate shower. Breakfast was $17 euro and was well stocked with scrambled eggs, meats, delicious baked goods, yogurts, muesli and espresso / cappuccino at no charge and staff were happy to accommodate. No need to book breakfast ahead - decide when you get there. A Fossier gingerbread with candied nuts is not to be missed.
Bar was fun for a night cap. Agree with a recent reviewer - many other hotels near this price point looked run down. Non - smoking which added to the stay - it was a very clean and modern hotel. Front desk quite helpful for taxi bookings. Restaurant was excellent - highly recommended (see separate review). The hotel was perfect for our 3 night stay in Reims. Thank you La Paix!!

Booked a taxi at the desk to take me to dinner and collect me afterwards.
When the return taxi did not show called the desk who were totally disinterested.
Explained that I did not have the number and was 16km from the hotel.
The guy just hung up on me!
I have used this hotel over 30 times and right now I can say that this is my last visit ever!

The location is terrific, you are close to absolutely anything you need. We shopped, ate and walked to two different Champagne houses from this hotel. I felt like I wasn't missing out on what Reims has to offer by staying here. They have parking underground, and that is pretty tight-but it was a needed option for us, since we drove a rental car. The front desk staff wears name tags that tell you which language(s) they speak-so you'll always be able to communicate with someone.
Our room was very spacious, and I appreciated that after staying in Paris! The bathrooms have a tub and a shower with plenty of space in there as well.
You can open the windows in these rooms, which was very nice since we had mild weather at night. The pool is not outdoors, but there is a place to relax and catch some sun right next to the pool with lounge chairs.
The courtyard and bar is open late, and it seemed that many people not staying at the hotel even came for some cocktails and to enjoy the space. There is plenty of seating and service was efficient.
It's a little pricier than some of the other hotels we looked at, but by staying at a branded hotel, you can rely on consistent service and a clean room. Some of the other non-brand hotels looked quite run-down when we walked by them.

An excellant hotel in a very good location. rooms are spotlessly clean, the bathroom appeared to be newly refitted. The bed was comfortable, quiet and cool. The decor can be quite modern with bright colours but i liked that. The breakfast is a good range of cereals, fruit, cooked and continental.It is possible to site outside for breakfast in the court yard if the weather permits. The staff were very helpful when i called upon them once or twice. The pool is nice and the seating area outside pleasant.This hotel may be a little more expensive than others but it is great value. I would recommend for business, families and even a romantic break.

Chic and easy from arrival to departure. De La Paix is really well located in the centre of things, just a short stroll from the full range of restaurants, bars and shopping. Further afield, yet still within walking distance are the majority of majority sites.
On site are its restaurant, champagne bar and alfresco courtyard space for drinks and bar snacks. All very chic and of top quality. Note - A limited amount of underground parking is available, so do make sure you book it prior if you need it.
Reception team are welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Likewise, all of the other teams are equally as efficient and obliging.
Rooms are very well appointed with contemporary decor and furnishings. Very clean and spacious with all of extras and facilities you expect of a BW Premier. All-in-all a great hotel in a great location for visiting central Reims.

We stayed here with family for a long weekend. We had a deluxe room, they are way nicer than the standard rooms other people in our party booked. The room was spotless, quiet and quite spacious. One small detail: there were flies in the room. We mentioned this to the staff and they took good care of it. We were in the back of the hotel, the front can be noisy with traffic and people having a night out. The staff was very friendly and helped us out in booking a restaurant as we had no reservations and it was a busy night. They were really nice. The drinks at the bar were rather high in price and you had to place your order at the bar. The location of the hotel is just excellent when visiting Reims. Overall we were very happy with the hotel!

I have been visiting Reims annually and sometimes more for 15 years, and having tried other hotels and B&Bs the Best Western is the best!
The location is great, right in the centre of town, and the underground parking is also a real bonus.
The public areas were done up a few years ago and look stunning. To be honest the rooms are starting to look as if they need an upgrade too (my reckoning is that they're about 10-12 years old). Everything is really clean but there are just a few bits that are starting to look worn and out of date.
The staff at the hotel are really helpful and have gladly booked restaurants and Champagne visits for me.
I'll gladly book the hotel again next time I visit.

Just back from a fabulous weekend in Reims. 7 couples in all and booked this hotel for the 3 nights we were in this great city. Rather disappointingly we paid the standard room rate of 180 euros per night and some rooms had a double bed and some were twins even though we booked it 12 months ago. Rooms were ok - business like - shower over a redundant bath (never understand baths in standard hotel rooms), fairly small rooms, modern in build and design. We had a room on the front which was fairly noisy- powerful motorbikes, bin collection at 5am and general post booze frivolities led to a couple of disturbed nights. I am sure the rooms at the back would be much quieter. we adjoining doors with the room next to us and we could hear every word they said. Modern block means every door slam is heard all over the floor. Bottled water in the room was chargeable which is a complete joke at 180 euros a night and 4 star. Never any milk or tea bags for a morning drink either. Clean and beds were comfortable. Location is great with the Strip a stones throw away and the Cathedral and Train Station only a short walk. Lovely courtyard area at the back for quiet sitting and enjoying your breakfast. Decent bar area and entertaining staff in there who know their drinks!! All in all ok but expensive for a room which is equivalent to a Premier inn room.

After a very busy day of flying we picked up our rental car at CDG airport and drive 1.5 hrs to Reims. We chose this hotel because of its location. Parking was available in their garage but you must make arrangements prior to arrival for a parking space. The rooms are nicely appointed and our overlooked the center court which has tables and chairs and where you can have a glass of wine and relax. We dined at the hotel's restaurant and had a very hearty meal. All in all a good experience.

It enjoys a central position , with its own paying parking, a good structure tailored for business travellers , a nice bar with an outside space enjoyable in good season , and so about the structure everthing is fine, except that there is only elevator, and that on our floor (sixth ) there was a strong and unpleasant mould smell ...Rooms are business minded, you can find the always appreciate nespresso machine . The staff needs , a better training, any interaction with tem , check in and check out , as the bar, took really too long too get a proper assitance or decent reply .Check out then was a sort of night are , forcing us to wait twenty minutes to pay local taxes and parking fees as the lady was not too expert in making the invoice...for one night it is okay and the town does not offer too many better alternatives

We chose this hotel because of its location and were no disappointed. It is in the middle of town, walking distance from all the places we wanted to visit in the city, particularly the Cathedral de Notre Dame at Reims. The building was recently renovated. The personnel at reception were very nice and helpful. They were eager to help. The building has parking for guests so we could park our rented car. The room was nicely decorated and the room was very comfortable with good air conditioning, free toiletries and ample space to move around. The bed was a large double. Free wi-fi is available. Highly recommend this hotel.

This is a modern hotel located amidst an older set of buildings. The furnishings are new, the place is kept clean, and it is very convenient to sights in Reims. The downside is that it can be noisy, depending on the crowd and time. We were there on a weekend, and there were several loud groups in the cafe in the interior courtyard (maybe they had had too much champagne). And another night there was a loud group on a balcony or with their window open. Our AC wasn't very efficient either. But the bar is very chic, and it seems very popular. You can park in the garage beneath the hotel if you reserve a space ahead of time. Our room, facing the courtyard, also had a view of the cathedral.

We don't normally go out of our way to stay in a BW hotel after some poor experiences in the past, but the Hotel de la Paix proved our initial concerns were unfounded. This is indeed a very well appointed and attractive 4-star hotel which provide everything we needed for a short 2-night stay in Reims.
We brought our own car over on the Eurotunnel from the UK and used the Buirette multi-storey car park on the other side of the road. It was OK though the access ramps are very tight if you have a large car like us. The hotel offers validated parking which worked out at 6 Euros for the two nights we left the car in the car park.
Our room up on the 5th floor was great, really nice modern style with thick carpeting and atmospheric back-lighting. Fine for a relaxing leisure stay but the low light level could have been a bit annoying if I were here on business and trying to work in the room. The very effective aircon was a welcome relief as our visit coincided with a heat wave (29 deg C outside). The TV had plenty of French HD channels (terrific pictures of the Roland Garros tennis which was on) and also BBC1, BBC2 and Sky News for UK guests. Wi-Fi was OK but the signal strength seemed to vary at different times of the day from good to quite weak.
The hotel serves a very nice breakfast and you can sit out in the courtyard if the weather is up for it. We also had a nice dinner one night (reservations strongly recommended on Sunday evenings as many local restaurants are closed) - didn't have a particularly nice table as we were relegated to a back room, but the food was nice.
We are already thinking about a return trip to Reims as there is much more to see in the area, and will almost certainly stay at the Hotel de la Paix once again if we can get a similar rate.

BWP de la Paix is a great place to stay. It made the Reims part of our visit very special. The hotel is beautiful and the service is excellent. The location is superb being walking distance to many of the wonderful Reims points of interest. The vibrant feel of the adjacent square puts one in a festive mood and makes it hard to leave. Indeed we added a night to our stay because we had enjoyed the hotel and the associated vibes so much. Note the restaurant is simply excellent, but be sure to make a reservation because others know how good it is and it can fill up.

I rated this hotel a 4 out of 5. We only had a short stay here and did not experience all the hotel had to offer but felt that a 3 was a bit low. Check in was easy, parking was easy (although they did require that we give them our car key). The room's décor looked very new, was a bit smaller then other rooms we had rented in the UK and Belgium. We arrived quite late in the day and one remote in one of our rooms did not seem to be working plus the A/C did not seem to be functioning as well as the other room. We were tired and did not complain.
The location was excellent and the city was quite a pleasure to explore for the short time we were there. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again and hope to explore more of the hotel.

A less than seamless check in, the property is under going renovations and when we ask for some fresh towels we are told “you only get one lot of towels per day”. The experience here was a low point of our trip and nothing like this has been said to us anywhere else in Europe, or elsewhere in the world for that matter. Find somewhere else to stay.

This is a very nice hotel in a great location. The staff is extremely accommodating and set up tours for us of two champagne houses. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the train station which takes 45 minutes from Paris. Reims has a charming town center with lots of cafes, restaurants, shopping, and champagne shops. This hotel is in the heart of it.
The two houses we visited were within walking distance. The hotel will call a taxi if you don't feel like walking.
Reims has a rich history and where the kings of France were coronated for hundreds of years.
The Cathedral is easy walking distance from the hotel and a must see. It is magnificent and free. The Palace of Tau is beside the cathedral and is well worth the 8 Euros to visit.
We stayed 2 nights and could have stayed many more.
This is a wonderful, charming, walkable city with plenty to do and Hotel de la Paix is a perfect place to stay.
The hotel was built in 1919 and has a blend of old architecture with more recent additions which are very well done. I would say it's similar to a 4 star hotel in the states.
From my observations this is the second nicest hotel in Reims after Chateau Les Crayers which is absolutely stunning and priced accordingly.
We had a great stay at Hotel de Le Paix!

We stayed in a newly renovated trendy room. Neat and tidy. Minimalism. In the morning, while we walked out to the restaurant, we found that the hotel is also a renovated one from an old building. What an integrated architecture. Breakfast was good and I enjoyed staying in here.

Like a lot of Reims, things are not as they at first seem but emulate the old style. This hotel is a delightful mix of contemporary inside with older style outside (except the colourful mini balcony wall on the Place Drouet d'Erlon end. The hotel sprawls over quite an area of real estate. The food was adequate rather than stunning (we had a group meals which was slightly overcooked). The main bar is very lively and noisy which may not suite everyone. However there are many bars and restaurants nearby.
A great base to explore Reims and its champagne houses.

After a long car journey through France on a busy Easter weekend we were welcomed by incredibly polite and helpful staff who went to great lengths to place us on the same floor as we had 2 rooms. We even had newly decorated and literally were the first to stay in these rooms. We hadn't booked ahead but have stayed there before and the service is always as good. The rooms were immaculately clean. It could not have been busier at breakfast but they handled it beautifully with patience and still a full buffet to choose from. Even if their own car park is full there is one across the street which is useful in a city centre. We cannot recommend this hotel enough.

We haven't stayed in a BW for many years and didn't realise we had booked one on our way to the alps. But we were pleasantly surprised at their 'Premier' brand.
Parking under the hotel was welcome - but why do hotels have to charge for parking - just another hidden cost that we will look out for in future.
Anyway - we liked it and we will return.

Good breakfast in Hotel and the attached restaurant was great for dinner. Very secure as key card needed for elevator use. Bar was very nice and the bartender was a hoot, he could do the whole cocktail type experience with the flipping and juggling of bottle and mixers. The staff was very nice and friendly. Will stay here again.

Literally around the corner you'll find all types of restaurants. Just keep in mind that lunch is served only from 12-2 pm. Then it is very difficult to find a place willing to serve lunch as we know it. The room was very comfortable.

Our room was clean, came with coffee/tea/water and had a great shower. We were comfortable and loved the outside living room to relax at night and have a champagne recap. The staff was great with their Champagne recommendations and maps as well. Great stay!

"Bat Manageress Shocking Customer Service"

Andy P, Epworth, England, United Kingdom
10/02/2018

So 3 guys enter a bar. Sadly though this is no joke playing on supposed differences in intellect between different British nations but a tale of woeful customer service by the bar manageress.
Great service, great cocktails , 2 bottles of champagne and good fun was had between the 3 of us but as our night drew to a close, which was 30 minutes before closing time I hasten to had, the bar manageress decided to close our tab without any explanation.
This was such a shame as our American bar tender had, until this point, provided fantastic service and really looked after us. Why the manageress decided to close the tab without warning or explanation was completely beyond any of us. A complete lack of ability by the bar manageress to explain why left us dumbfounded but no doubt we were now clearly of the opinion she was somewhat “stuck up” and completely lacking in any customer service skills.
To be clear this review was written within 15 minutes of leaving the venue so judge for yourself if we were in an unfit state!!!
Will we visit again - absolutely not. Which is a real shame as we had been so well looked after until the bar manageress effectively pulled the rug from under our bar tenders feet leaving her feeling no doubt uncomfortable as to the sudden lack of service and hospitality.

Dear Travellers,
Our bar is opened everyday until 2.00 AM. We must respect rules given by the State and cannot have any guest in the bar after a specific time. Moreover the shift of our barmen ends. These 3 customers have been notified that they could not get any extra drink but they unfortunately did not understand it.
Our staff keep at any time customer service skills and hospitality.

"Modernised hotel in a good Location"

While it is not a quaint historic hotel, we think that this is a good place to stay when on a short trip to Reims or as a base for a few days travelling nearby. it is walking distance from the station and in a good handy part of the town, with a decent view of the Cathedral.
The staff were friendly and were able to arrange early checkin for us which we very much appreciated. I wouldn't say that there is a wow factor but the rooms are comfortable and larger than others and we have not found somewhere in the city that does it better.

"Review of Best Western Reims"

LeonieshorncliffeQLD, Brisbane, Australia

Arriving on the 1st of January meant that there were not a lot of the usual accommodation places that I would have preferred in the Champagne region open.
Best Western seemed a good choice for 2 nights as most of Reims would be open and they had secure parking.
Arriving, there is no where outside this hotel to stop the car. The trainee at reception was more interested in giving me her pre prepared speech about how they were not responsible for police giving us a ticket than explaining to me where to put the car so I could run back out and let my husband know before he held up too much traffic. Not a great start, however after doubling back we located the carpark and brought our bags up to reception. This hotel has a grand foyer and nice bar but heading upstairs to our room, we encountered funky lights and orange walls which cheapened the lovely old building. We had a good view of the courtyard and roof tops towards the cathedral.
We booked a deluxe room and it was a good size with a separate siting and dining area and a tv that swiveled to face the bed or couch. There were 2 tables and a good space for 2 suitcases. A bath, good space on the vanity and a good shower rose completed the adequate bathroom.
There were no wine glasses in the room despite having champagne in the mini bar, the tissue box was empty and there was another useless hairdryer attached to the wall and no power point in the bathroom. When I called up to request these things I was told it would take 45 mins as there was only the receptionist on staff (it was the 1st January). I was also informed that if I wanted wine glasses I had to get them myself from the bar. We decided to head to the pretty champagne bar for a drink instead but it was closing at 8pm and the bar girl coldly could not suggest where we should go for dinner or a bar that was open.
That said, this hotel is in a great location for the mall, Reims Cathedral and some of the champagne houses. There was also some better service once the team had come back from their time off.

We stayed here for 3nights and had a wonderful time. Good breakfast and very friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you. Rooms very good although unsure about the frosted glass doors to the bathroom. Would definitely stay here again.

I had the most amazing experience at the hotel de la Paix.First of the location is just perfect. It is close to everything,a short walk to the train station,Cathedral is just behind.
Breakfast is abundant and excellent . The hotel bar is very well designed and lively in the evenings.The hotel restaurant serves great French fare and reasonably priced wines from all regions as well as champagne choices.
Upon check in we were upgraded to a larger room and allowed to have our room early before 12 noon.
I highly recommend!

"New Year in Reims"

Valerie D, France

Central hotel with spacious comfortable rooms and secure parking. We were concerned on arrival to find that there was a big wheel set up immediately outside of our window however the curtains shut out the flashing lights and the double glazing shut out the noise so no problem there. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and the only negative factor (which in truth was only an irritation) was that we needed to take three different lifts to get from the car parking area to our room. Although the restaurant was good there are so many really good restaurants on the doorstep that it is a shame to eat in the hotel, unless, like us, you are weary after arriving and just want to eat and then fall into bed.
A TIP; If you are arriving for New Year in Reims make sure that you have booked a restaurant for the night of 31 /dec as they fill up quickly. We had booked for both the 31 Dec and the 1 Jan although there did seem to be plenty of restaurants available for the 1st January.

The reception area is large and newly modernised. The staff are very friendly and efficient. Our room was modern with a good bathroom with shower. Altogether very comfortable and in a brilliant central location. We used the heated indoor pool in the leisure centre. It was easy to keep the car in the basement car park, which was well laid out. We did not eat in the hotel restaurant, but there is a big choice of other restaurants nearby. We would return.

We stopped over for just one night with 2 teenagers and a small dog, while travelling from the south of France to the UK. The hotel is very central to shops, restaurants and anything else one might need, yet is just a short, easy drive off the motorway. Parking underneath the hotel is secure. The rooms were clean and comfortable and a plentiful breakfast was included in the price. It consisted of cereals, fruit, yoghurts, breads, plus scrambled eggs, sausages and bacon. There's a lively bar area with fireplace and attractive courtyard for fresh air. This is an elegant and comfortable hotel option right in the middle of town. I would definitely stay again. The cathedral Notre Dame de Reims is a 10 minute walk away and really worth a visit.

The hotel is conveniently located near the centre of town and a 10 minute walk from the train station. There is only a small car park at the hotel but directly opposite the hotel is a large multi storey car park. The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms and the buffet breakfast was sufficient and the service was friendly and efficient. It was a good base to explore the town - the beautiful cathedral, markets and restaurants were all about a ten minute walk away.

Stayed here for a three night visit to the Champagne region. Centrally located, it is very convenient when arriving/departing by train to visit other cities such as Epernay. Check-in/Check-out was quick and the rooms were very comfortable. We ate several times at the restaurant and the food was delicious. You also have dozens of other restaurants options outside a within a block from the hotel. Champagne house in Reims are dispersed and not very close, but the location was perfect to enjoy the evening eating out and drinking Champagne. If we return to Reims, we will come back for sure.

This property is better than it appears. I wasn't that familiar with Best Western properties but is this is the norm, I will search them out. Rooms were very large and comfortable. Staff was extremely helpful both before my stay, via email and then once we arrived. But the best recommendation I can give is that my daughter's friend left her tablet in their room as we check out. We didn't realize until the following day. Not only was it found but then returned to my daughters friend immediately. Well done Best Western de la Paix!!!

As a group of 3 girls we wanted to explore the Champagne region. Its very difficult to find triple rooms in France so we were delighted to find them available, at a reasonable price, at this central hotel. We didnt intend to spend much time at the hotel but as it turned out we spent an entire evening there. They have a lovely courtyard with a pool, and there was (slow) table service offering the local wines. I would return here for the triple rooms, but if I were travelling as a couple Id look for somewhere a little more special.

We stayed here one night en-route to Strasbourg. Reception was very helpful and check-in efficient.
The route to our room involved taking a lift from Reception to the 1st floor, then a short walk past the Swimming Pool area to another lift up to the higher floors.
Our room was very clean, nicely appointed and very comfortable.
Would definitely return again.

"Made Me Rethink Best Westerns"

AGQueens, Forest Hills, New York

I have never stayed at a Best Western and was a little wary of doing so this time (normally choose more luxury options). But my top choices were booked, the TA reviews were positive, and it seemed a great location. I had received an email a few days before our scheduled check in to answer some questions about our arrival and stay. I was happy to have an opportunity to let them know we'd be arriving well before check-in (9 or 10am I think I wrote) based on our early morning arrival at CDG and the 1.5 hour drive to Reims. We arrived within that window and they had a room ready for us - the opportunity to check in, unpack and take a shower etc. after our overnight flight was an absolute game changer.
The room itself was quite nice - kind of mid-century modern decor with a couch, table, ample closet and space in the bathroom. There were nice plush towels too. The shower was a bit small and the hair and body gel combo in the shower was odd. I really wished they had actual shampoo and conditioner. But this might be a suburban France thing as our hotel in Beaune (though not in Paris or Lyon) had the same thing. So note to others to bring your own if important (I wish I had). We also had a nice view of the courtyard.
Otherwise there are a ton of shops, bars and restaurants within close walking distance of the hotel. But the big champagne houses are a bit of a hike - maybe a 30 minute walk. The hotel has parking but they had no free spaces when we arrived. So we used the garage across the street - it is open 24 hours and we left our car there overnight. It was quite safe and affordable. We did not eat at the hotel but had drinks at the bar more than once. The staff was very nice but a little overwhelmed (women seemed to be running around while the men engaged in Tom Cruise Cocktail theatrics without helping serve tables). We sat at the bar so were fine but many at tables seemed a bit annoyed at the slow service. I loved one drink, Just A Dream, on their cocktail menu and must find out how they make it - amaretto, gin and Bailey's (my favorite things!) with whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top. I've tried to make at home but can't seem to get the proportions quite right. Anyway, we had a great time during our stay and would certainly return if we get ourselves back to Reims.

This was our second visit here and only wish more hotels were like this.
They have everything absolutely spot on.
The bedrooms have everything you need including extras such as iron, tea and coffee, Safe. Both times our room has been spotlessly clean, beds comfy and fairly spacious.
The only slight gripe is the only English tv channel is CNN news. BBC world doesn't work, but not the end of the world.
Staff are very friendly and helpful and speak very good English.
There's a lovely bar and a good restaurant too that is extremely reasonably priced. Overall a very nice hotel and one we will return to. We ate here and at L'Epicier au Bon Manger and Le Grand Cafe both of which were excellent. A great place for a long weekend away if you want to park and forget the car!

"Clean and modern but annoying."

manofekent, Kent, England

Makes a nice change to find a French hotel with decent lighting in the bedroom. It's a different matter in the bathroom where, instead of having the light switch by the door it is on the far side of the room at the rear of the vanity unit so in the middle of the night you have to walk across an unfamiliar room in the dark. Straight from the school of stupid hotel design. Had a busy day in Reims? Want to sit in a nice comfy chair to relax? Well find a different hotel, this hotel doesn't have any. Want an assistance rail by the toilet? In this large bathroom why have they crammed the WC and rail up against the wall? This is in a "superior" Privilege room.
The rest of the hotel is OK but these things are annoying and they shouldn't be.

After making a wrong turn from the train station and not reading my gps correctly I ended up walking around for 45 minutes dragging too heavy bags. (They are a 10 minute walk from the station) I am 65 years old and was traveling alone. By the time I arrived at the front desk I had a complete asthma and anxiety/ meltdown attack and could barely stand or breath. They saw I was in distress and escorted me to my room (tall gentleman) who talked to me calmly and made me feel more comfortable. I cannot thank them enough. If you have lots of luggage take a cab! Their restaurant in the hotel is extremely good and I ate there twice. You can easily walk to the Cathedral from the hotel. They also are renovating the hotel including rooms. It is also a great area to book the champagne tours. Do not miss the Museum of the Surrender nearby. I was very pleased with the hotel and applaud their caring staff

Stayed here for one night with a group of friends. From the moment we entered to the time we left all of the staff were excellent. If youre travelling by car it is recommened to pre book a parking space in their covered garage as there are more rooms than spaces.
The bar staff were friendly and professional and the room with a balcony was perfect and spacious. Our check out was fast and efficient.
We would definitely stay on our future visits to Reims.

We arrived without any problems having reserved a basement parking space. The staff were very welcoming and hospitable there was slight confusion as the whole group booking had been made in one name which resulted in the final invoices being complicated.
The rooms were very palatial and furnished to an exceptionally high standard. This is a bright modern hotel with very efficient house keeping staff who were always polite and helpful.
The rooms were very quite however, with the window open overlooking the front there was noise from groups of youths until 2am if you you closed the window you could not hear the street noise, but would have to use the air conditioning.
We visited the bar which was very busy but did not experience any service problems, the bar staff were very knowledgeable and efficient.
I would return to this hotel & recommend a visit to others.

Chose this Hotel as was well located and our friends had been there before. Arrived and parked the car in the unground carpark,took the lift to the reception and checked in. I was asked to leave my car keys behind the reception for security reasons. So i did not thing anything of it at the time. The next morning i ended to use the car so got my keys and went down to my car,only to find it had been moved without my permission. Did not check milage before i left it so can't say if it was driven on the road or not. The room was 100%, best room i have stayed in for a while,clean and very well put together. The hotel bar staff are a little slow and the music in the bar area got loud so we moved further away from the bar only for the music to be turned up in the area we moved too. Breakfast the next morning we though we would use the restaurant for ease, A big mistake as we were sat down at a table a good walk away from the main room where the food and drink were located. On getting to the coffee and tea area we found there was No drinks available as it was very busy, had to tell the staff they were empty and then it took 15 mins for them to top it up. Now on to the buffet food area, Well hardly any food to have as it was not being topped up quick enough. We had a coffee and went to a cafe outside the Hotel. I would use this hotel to sleep in again,but would not use the breakfast restaurant again or the bar. One more thing that is great if your a fish lover, the main evening restaurant is the best i have ever eaten in, Fresh fish and made to order. They had a glass cold room with a man preparing the fish as the chef needed it. So only gave 3 stars as bar staff and moving the car without asking are not good.

Dear Travellers,
We have read this feedbaback with attention and we thank MKR1603 for taking the time to write this review.
Car key are kept at Front Desk for security reason and also to re-park cars if necessary as some car spaces are a bit stretched. Of course cars are not driven on the road. If you don't want to leave car keys at Front Desk, we only request a phone number to contact you if necessary.
As it was quite busy at breakfast, an extra quieter room has been opened this specific morning and the buffet breakfast has been refilled progressively.
Finally we are pleased to read that this traveller enjoyed the restaurant and its fish.

Stayed here in June for 3 nights. Planned with some friends to do a champagne weekend break. Basing ourselves here was ideal. Here's the good bits: Great location in the centre of Reims - loads of restaurants on the door step, catherdral a few minutes walk away. We booked the carpark on site beforehand (its a small area and you leave the keys at reception so they can move the car if neccessary). Our friends have a 4x4 and parked in the public carpark which was opposite the hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean rooms and public areas with a modern decor. Rooms were a good size, had free wifi, hot shower, comfy bed and pillows, safe, kettle, hairdryer, iron, fridge, tv and effective aircon. We booked a couple of wine tours a month before we went - one was at Taittinger and we walked there from the hotel (took half an hour). Another was through Cris Event (can highly recommend) and we were collected from the hotel. Ate one evening meal at the hotel restautrant and it was very, very good. Can highly recommend even if youre not a guest staying here.
I really can't recall any negatives,

Stayed in a deluxe room. Found the hotel to be comfortable but the rooms a little tired. Appreciated the room had a walk in shower. There is a lively and popular bar at the hotel although the prices for champagne are quite high for Reims. Laundry broke a button on my shirt. Hotel provide a credit, but will cost more than credit to get repaired. Not happy with resolution. Small gym with older Technogym equipment was alright. Small indoor pool.

The hotel de la Paix is perfectly located in the centre of Reims. Once again we chose this hotel from TA reviews and overall we enjoyed our four nights here, for the following reasons:
Close to Gare Reims and easily walked: 400 metres or seven minutes approx
Courteous staff: front of house, bar, breakfast, room
The concierge let us into our room early: great.
Our standard double room was a good size for us, a nice bathroom and quiet
Fridge
AC and windows you can open to let in some fresh air
Three efficient lifts, two one end and another at the opposite end of our floor.
A nice bar area with a lovely courtyard outlook
We had the Express breakfast in the lounge/bar: juice, coffee, croissants for euro 7: good value for us.
We used the hotel restaurant La Paix: plat du jour was nice and good value. It's a busy place.
The only thing less than satisfactory was the wifi: poor.
Wifi is now essential kit for us and in six weeks of travelling through Italy, Switzerland and now France; this is by far the worst.
We both have iPhones and iPads: four devices. The hotel system requires separate email addresses for each device: we have four different email addresses as it happens: do you!!!
If you're like us and have a number of devices: have a corresponding number of email addresses.
Also, the sever disconnects you after inactivity and I lost count of the times we logged in.
Nevertheless we liked the hotel.

A nice hotel in the center of Reims with easy walking to shopping, restaurants and close by to the Champagne winery tours.

We had a very comfortable room with complimentary breakfast and overlooking the fountains and street cafes. Helpful and attentive staff. Good value!

First of all, I was surprised that the capital of Champagne had so few full-service hotels, and virtually none of the major European or American chains, given the number of tourists visiting the city. This hotel was the best compromise on price, location, and reviews. I will say it was "solid." The public areas need a major facelift (has a modern but dated look and the carpet is truly ragged.) My room was better - spacious, good bed, large and quality bathroom. The front desk staff were helpful and the location is central to everything you'd need in Riems (train station, the cathedral, and the major champagne houses.) This is not, however, a hotel I would "hang out" at for atmosphere. If you want that, maybe look for a B&B type place in the area.

Perfectly located. The reception is busy but efficient, we were quickly checked in and were soon in our room after a long car journey. Reserved a car park space by email, with no issues. The room was a good size, with a good size bathroom, as mentioned in a previous review the toiletries are basic, (hair & body wash combined gel), good advise from the reviewer - we took our own toiletries. The restaurant is superb, perfectly cooked food served by wonderful, friendly and helpful waiting staff. Breakfast caters for most, although we were a little confused by the help yourself to tea & coffee one day and wait to be served the next day and we waited and waited and waited. I eventually chased the waitress to politely ask to be served, after watching everyone get served who came in after us and didn't receive a pleasant response - wish I'd stuck to the juice! Never mind... would we stay here again..... definitely.

Nice hotel in city centre benefiting from being very close to the Cathedral. The hotel also has its own car park which is useful in Reims were parking is limited - you have to book and it is 14 euros per night.
Hotel is modern with clean rooms which are spacious and benefit from having bathrooms with both showers and baths in them. Bed is big an: comfortable, this is in my opinion unusual so for a French hotel, and I would recommend a courtyard room as they are quieter.
The hotel also has a swimming pool and a good restaurant which is nice. Only criticism is that bedroom internet wifi is very very slow and service in bar is mediocre. Staff seem to be over busy and customers suffer from bad service as a result.
Good hotel with friendly staff..

Located right in the center of things, and I can't say enough about this hotel.
Modern and in good taste, which makes all of the amenities convenient for travelers. Some examples: a large bathtub plus an extra-sized walk-in shower, very large hallways with nice art on the walls and attractive lighting, and plenty of space in the bedroom to unpack your belongings.
I'm in room 444, in the front of the building with a curving corner window at least 25 feet wide. Heavy curtains block out light at night, so don't worry about that. Even though our room faces the street, there was little noise at night.
The breakfast is of very high quality. You'll notice that in the croissants, but be sure to try the pain d'espice of Reims, a slice of the local spice bread much imitated but never as toothsome as the real thing.

Can't really fault this hotel. It's right in the centre of Reims within walking distance of everything. Car parking should be booked in advance and then you get a space under the hotel. Our room was spacious, spotless and really comfortable. The bar was a lovely space for a pre-dinner drink.

This hotel is excellent with secure underground carparking (£12/night) and is very conveniently situated for the cathedral etc. The room was comfortable and quiet and they serve an excellent breakfast. The evening meal is in a different restaurant, attached to the hotel, and booking is advisable. It serves top-quality food and the service was excellent.

We had less than 24 hrs. to spend in Reims, so we chose this hotel because of its proximity to the train station and the Cathedral. Couldn't have done better! It's just off the main, pedestrianized street where you'll find tons of restaurants, most with large outdoor seating areas. Enjoy the beautiful night while eating outside. The Cathedral and the beautiful Carnegie Library are just a quick walk from the hotel. The breakfast was delicious, with lots of variety.
We had a large room with a view of the courtyard, so it was very quiet. The shower was a stall shower, which to me is a bonus in France, although there was also a bathtub and handheld shower for those who prefer that mess!

A favourite hotel of ours in the very centre of the city. Close to the museums, the wonderful cathedral and the opera.
The room was an excellent size with every modern facility and a very comfortable bed. The only criticism is that housekeeping were less than generous with the in-room drinks i.e. coffee. A coffee machine is provided but few capsules and only 2 portions of granules. Milk was 2 small tubs of long-life.
The restaurant is very good value though it is essential to book a table before arrival, especially on a weekend.
The hotel provides excellent secure parking at only €14 a night.
Anyone staying in Reims should certainly have this hotel amongst their top options.

"Nice hotel at the city center"

Hotel is at the city center which makes it very convenient for 2 – 3 night visit.
We have booked Privilege room. Room is very good in size, but small window makes the room small and dark.
Anyway, for 2 nights, we found it just fine.
Hotel has nice small indoor swimming pool which was an excellent time out for our 8-year old daughter.
Special thanks goes to the front desk staff who were very polite and helpful.
If you are arriving by car, make the parking space reservation ahead.
Otherwise you can park in public garage across the street, which is also ok.
All in all, this hotel was a good find and I would recommend it to all travelers looking for excellent location.

We had actually booked another property and it was so disappointing we left ones for another and chose this one. We got a good price from the internet which the hotel reception honoured, even upgrading us which we so appreciated after having paid for the other accommodation which was awful. Vincent at reception deserves special mention - thank you for being so friendly and helpful. The room was really large, air con was awesome (it was over 30 degs outside) and breakfast was included (excellent breakfast and again, very helpful and friendly staff). Very good location with a pedestrian piazza strip literally around the corner with good restaurants and shops. (You have to try the gelato!). We highly recommend this hotel for the reasons I lay out here.

We stayed here on the way down to nice. We booked it for a) family room b) secure parking c) central location d) swimming pool for the kids to let off steam.
It had very clean and secure parking. It's location is central. Unfortunately it's pool is tiny and was full of people just standing around (too small to swim I suppose) so we didn't dare let the kids go in it. The family room was clean but it wasn't great. It has one large room with a double bed and ensuite bathroom. Then another very small room with a small double bed and the only wardrobe space. Our children don't normally share a bed and it took forever to get them to sleep. Also for a longer stay one small cupboard in this room seems awkward. The front desk staff were very helpful but the only solution was two adjoining rooms- which they didn't have and were obviously more expensive. The buffet breakfast is excellent.
If you are eating dinner out also note most restaurants don't open til 7.

We were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary and the hotel upgraded us to a balcony room and also gave us a complimentary glass of Champagne each. The Hotel is in a prime position near all the shops and restaurants. The staff were very helpful and very friendly. Our room overlooked the rooftops of Reims and was clean and very comfortable.

This hotel is in the center of town. We were able to walk with our rolling bags from the train station - about 10 minutes. The staff were welcoming and all seemed happy to be working there. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of this hotel and the service. The rooms we had was small yet comfortable. From our window we could see the tops of old buildings in Reims and the window opened for fresh air. When the staff tell you that their restaurant is one of the best in town, they're not kidding. We had a wonderful meal at Restaurant De La Paix which links to the hotel but also has a front on the city's "restaurant row."

I guess this is probably about the fourth time that we have stayed in the Hotel de La Paix and it is still as good as ever.
The location in the heart of Reims is ideal - very central and yet surprisingly easy to reach from the Motorway.
Of course, being in the centre of town, if driving you will need to avail yourself of the Hotel Underground Car Park, but at €14 a night, this is very reasonably priced (and very secure).
The hotel is dog-friendly and there are several parks nearby for exercising.
Our room for three was right next to the lift, but we couldn't hear any noise all night. The room was functionally furnished with a small sofa bed, a bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle and the toilet in a separate area (very common in French Hotels). Taken as a whole, the room was quite adequate for our overnight stopover needs.
The communal areas of the Hotel are very pleasant - it does have a small indoor pool, a gym (didn't get to see either though) and a really nice bar area with a courtyard terrace.
Naturally enough, being in Reims the drink of choice was Champagne which on the night in question was Tattinger (very pleasant) and was reasonably priced at €12.50 for a generous glass.
All the staff at the Hotel were really pleasant / helpful.
I am sure that we will be back again soon...

I have never stayed in a Best Western Hotel before and my expectations were modest but i was greatly surprised.
The room was spacious, with a king bed, a separate living room area, dining area and a widowed "alcove" overlooking the outdoor seating lounge.
Parking was easy and secure, the staff was friendly, welcoming and eager to please.

The hotel is a beautiful building merging an old convent and modern architecture. Subtle élégance in every detail: from the bar to the swimming pool, to the rooms with view on the garden. Modern design and warm touches. A lovely restaurant with outdoor table on the street full of life (best to reserve your table on time on we, locals also like it). Reasonable Priced menu with wide choice. Close to city attractions, ideally located for shopping. We loved every minute there.

This hotel is right in the city centre, 5 minutes away from the cathedral. The hotel has its own parking, but a public parking garage is also opposite the hotel. I had a modern room (136), with two single beds, and a small seating area. Behind the bed is a little desk and the entry to the bathroom (which features a shower - with rainshower) and a sink, no bath. The toilet is in a separate area, next to the entrace, which I prefer. The room was quiet.
The hotel has a nice bar (inside and outside in a courtyard) - for the mojito a bit more rum could be used.
The hotel also has a small gym (not too much equipment), and nice sauna and small swimming pool. Sufficient to wind down after a busy day. Staff is friendly and helpfull.
Breskfast buffet has sufficient choice.

Before booking this hotel I had a question about the parking/security and received an almost immediate response so proceeded to book.
Arrived at the hotel car park and once we had entered Alex came down to advise where to park etc.
Check in and check out were swift and painless.
Great service in the bar and really enjoyed the breakfast.
Room was on the small side but perfectly adequate for what we needed and tbh I don't expect much more in cities where space is at a premium. Loved the shower room (and the design on the door) and was nice to have a separate toilet. All very clean.
The pool and gym area were small but good - we went down early morning when it was quiet but noticed it was very busy in the early evening with the families making use. If you want to use the sauna you have to let reception know - possibly later in the day this is always on but wasn't at 8am......
Would highly recommend.

Regular visitor here - why?
Location is perfect, parking (book in advance), bar is great, has a new lunch casual cafe, lots of outside seating, the pool, great restaurant attached, front of house staff good (this time round including one young French speaking Englishman).
The Champagne list is huge, the cocktails and entertaining bar staff provide entertainment. Rooms are good, we prefer the larger deluxe rooms with bath and shower. Breakfast is ok but I'm a fussy one there.
If you stay here it is literally a 2 minute walk to the centre and maybe 8 to the cathedral, obviously tourists come here for the surrounding champagne houses, the roads out of town are empty so great for cycling, motorcycling or cruising around the Champagne route in your car buying here and there!
Sometimes the kids come and sometimes they stay at home.

Stayed here a couple of nights in order to see what Reims had to offer and of course to savoir the Champagne. Hotel is in a great location, good onsite secure parking, nice modern rooms and a good restaurant attached. Overall very satisfied with our stay and the service provided. My only criticism would be of the bar staff in the very nice looking bar, perhaps they were bored (it was not particularly busy!) but the male bar staff seemed more interested in practicing their cocktail bottle throwing antics than serving paying guests. In the end we gave up getting a second round and went elsewhere. Overall though a really good base for any stay in this area

This is a great hôtel with an excellent central location, a very pleasant and professional staff, very nice rooms, beautiful buffet breakfast. There is an old convent church, used nowadays as a conference center, overlooking an exquisite garden.The combination of the old stones and the modern buildings where you find a great bar is stunning. I should also mention a huge indoor pool.

This hotel was a solid four stars. It was not luxurious, but it was clean and a great location in Reims. Breakfast was nice and very convenient. My only complaints were the lack of lighting in bathroom and construction noise during the day. This was not an issue while we were sleeping, but during the day the noise was pretty annoying.

The room was smaller medium but very comfortable and well equipped.
There was a 46" TV with several channels available.
The hotel WiFi has to be logged into every time and seems to limit access to data hungry sites like YouTube but is OK for simple things like emails.
The bathroom is fitted with top of the range Hans Grohe taps and shower which all work very well.
The breakfast only has a few choices but they were what I like and was very happy with it. Except that the streaky bacon had a bit too much fat on it. But overall very good indeed. It is all self service.
The room has separate heating and cooling. As a heating engineer it was fairly easy for me to operate but might be more difficult for some others.
Very conveniently situated in the centre but has a car park although probably quite expensive as parking is at a premium in this city.
All in all I was very pleased with the hotel and it's facilities.

Spent last night at this dog and electric car friendly hotel ; also had dinner at their seafood restaurant. Got a room right next to the elevator but had no noise issue what so ever. We basically booked this hotel due to the location and their private underground parking with the space for charging our electric car. Easy walk to the Cathedral with many high street stores around the corner. The only complaint is that breakfast at 17 euro per head is too steep but otherwise , we would definitely return.

All in all a very nice hotel although a bit pricey but considering its location it is what it is.
Would we return? possibly

While this hotel-- being a Best Western-- was better than expected, it still is a Best Western. The rooms are OK for the price paid. . . but they are nothing to write home about. Probably the "saving grace" to the property are its common areas. The bar was nice, and the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The lobby and breakfast area outside are really very nice. You just have to expect bedrooms that are clean. . . but nothing really special.
Great location near some really nice restaurants. Easy access to local and area champagne houses. Easy walking to the Cathedral, etc.

Very nice hotel located right in town and walking distance from the train station. We booked a superior room. It was modern, spacious, and clean. The AC worked but wasn't very cool. The wifi was not that great. Sometimes it worked but most of the time it did not. We did not use very many of the amenities. Only the gym which didn't have much and was not air conditioned. For being 90+ degrees when we were there, it was like working out in a sauna. The hotel itself deserves 4-stars. However, the service does not. I typically don't trust other people to book anything for me. Two months prior to our trip I was emailing back and forth with Christophe; the Head of Reception, to book three champagne tours. He confirmed that we were all set to go. We checked in to each of our champagne tours to find out our names were not on any of the lists. Thank goodness it was a weekday and they had room for us on the tours. You can imagine how upset we would be if we travelled all this way and were not able to get to see any of the champagne houses. The only positive that came out of this was that we received a discount at GH Mumm and Pommery for booking through the hotel. Taittinger did not offer a discount. We took taxi's to the champagne houses as it was 90+ degrees out - a bit too hot to walk.

We have stayed here many times and always enjoyed the experience. This time we decided to treat ourselves to a privilege room. There are one or two gripes regarding the room; there is a purple glass panel between the bathroom and the bedroom, very arty, but if you go into the bathroom at night and turn on the light it floods the bedroom with purple light, not very restful for anyone trying to sleep! There are no hooks for hanging clothes while you are showering, the only one is above the bath and is too high for most people to reach. The only tea offered on the t and c tray is green tea(not to everyone's taste) some breakfast tea would be nice(you don't always want to call reception early in the morning for this sort of problem!). Other than that the stay was great, the staff are always helpful and welcoming.

My wife and I arrived at the hotel on a hot June afternoon, and were able to temporarily park our motorbikes just off the road directly outside the hotel main entrance, whilst we checked in. We were greeted by a very helpful and friendly young Englishman, Alex, who very helpfully subsequently met us in the underground parking garage with a luggage trolley. Great service! Our two night stay was most enjoyable in a well appointed and very clean 5th floor room with views of the towers of the city's Notre Dame cathedral. We found, on the whole, service and staff to be most helpful. We would certainly consider returning to this hotel in this lovely city.

My two sisters and I spent the night of May 27th at this hotel, having great expectations given the reviews I read online. Just to help you set realistic expectations the pool is very small and nothing like the pictures on the web, and the expensive breakfast, does offer a variety of food, but of poor quality, and forget the cappuccino or the please, thank you and Mrs. The worst thing about this hotel is his personnel and management. Even if the hotel website advertises that the hotel has undergone massive renovation (reason why we picked it) we must have been given one of the room in the section that was not renovated as it was quite outdated and had that old dirty carpet. We booked a room for three, but the third bed was really a couch. The room only had pillows, slippers and towels for two so we had to ask for more, but up to that moment we were not pleased, but still ok to stay. The worst came at night and then the next morning. As we were getting ready to go to bed one of us found some bugs in her bed, we called housekeeping that changed the sheet (not the comforter) but did not offer us to change room. Our neighbors were very noisy and we called the concierge complaining but still we were up till 2 o'clock. When the next day we went to complain and asked to talked to the general manager he was very unpolite and unprofessional. Instead of being apologetic for what happened he told us that this are normal things that happen, and that we must have noisy neighbors and bugs in our house as well. Finally, he told us that we just complained like every American (by the way we are not even American) because we use an American Express and we are allow to do so, but that he does not care and that we deserve no special treatment. I hope my review will help the many travelers that rely on reviews like me to make a better choice.

Breakfasts are okay, but on this visit, the service at Champagne Bar was less than desirable !

The room was good although small was adequate and very well though out from a women's point of view great layout for the mirror and plugs even had uk three prong socket. The bathroom was bright and everything to hand even a large open shower, and opening window to clear any steam quickly to enable you to put your make up on, and great to leave open for fresh air on a night , plenty of towels two. Location could not have been better so close to a diverse of restaurants and for the Champagne Houses, the Mumm is well worth the 25 min walk

The room was comfortable and clean and the staff helpful. THe hotel is a two minute walk from the main street with bars and restaurants.

We have stayed at this hotel for small breaks and overnight on the way home from vacation or on the way to.
On each stay staff are friendly and will bend over backwards to help you.
Parking is available at a rate of 24Euro overnight, but if fully booked there is parking across the road at 17euro overnight and is safe. Invalid parking is available at both.
Breakfast is good and caters for full breakfast at 17e per person, express breakfast for 7euro which is basic with tea/coffee and croissant/pan au chocolate.
Rooms are well appointed and comfortable, and quiet. no issues on the 5 times we have stayed here.
Good clean rooms, good sized bathrooms.
Tea and coffee making provision, but make sure you go across the road to the supermarket for milk, as the carton ones provided are poor
They do have a restaurant, but never eaten here, as there is more selection in the main square and competitively priced
We have had evening drinks in the courtyard most nights and they have a good selection of soft drinks, beers and of course Champagne and are reasonably priced.
Great place to stay, easy access from the AutoRoute and has good invalid access and assistance when needed.

We managed to book two rooms about two months before our trip over the Bank Holiday weekend in May. It's easy to drive to and to find and there is a multi storey car park in the indoor shopping centre opposite. It is 16 Euro a day to park there.
The hotel is centrally located and you can walk around Reims from there. The rooms are spacious and nice large bathrooms with walk in shower, bath and hair dryers etc. Rooms air conditioned. Our booking was room only but you can purchase a continental breakfast in the hotel cafe or pop outside to the numerous restaurants nearby. There is even a McDonalds in town ?. It has a pleasant bar and courtyard area and the swimming pool has the top end of the courtyard as its lounge area. We asked if we could have dinner in the hotel cafe any evening of our stay but it was fully booked so we had to eat out but that was fine.

Very large hotel, positioned in central Reims. Large, comfortable rooms with sexy bathrooms. All the rooms appear to be different but mine was fantastic with a small balcony looking over the pedestrian area and ver quiet. The staff I encountered spoke enough English to get what I needed. Breakfast was plentiful and can be taken in several different areas.

The room - The room was spacious, considering it's in France, where rooms tend to run small compared to American standards. Nicely equipped bathroom with a tub and a shower. Tub was deep enough to cover everything. Bed was very firm. Good pillows. Every door hinge on our floor needed oiling. They squeaked every time it was opened and closed. Other than really squeaky doors, it was very quiet.
Parking was 14Euro, but attached to the hotel, which made it very convenient and worth the price. There is a public parking garage across the street, but the per day price was about the same as the hotel.
The location - great location, near the center of town. Very walkable with lots of shops and a huge variety of restaurants and nightlife.

Driving a rental car to this hotel after overnight flight to CDG airport, we were puzzled by on and off dashboard signal lights. After mentioning this to the hotel front desk, one fellow immediately followed me to my car in the underground garage. Flipping through the French car manual, he suggested that it was a radar related safety feature and had no connection to the running and performance of the car. The staffs at this hotel really go the extra mile to serve their customers.
The hotel is located at the d'erlon place which is a major intersection full of restaurants and brasseries. We had a small but extremely clean room at the eighth floor facing the Reims cathedral and overlooking the Sube statue. The hotel amenities are good by French standard. Although our room is facing the street, it wasn't very noisy as most eateries are on the other side of the intersection.
The underground parking is a good feature, but it has to be reserved early. If you come by car from the south, the entrance is right next to the hotel. Park your car there temporarily until you check in with the front desk.
Reims is a beautiful mid-sized city. The Joan of Arc festival taking place during our stay made our visit more fun, in addition of all the bubblies. If ever we visit Reims again, the de la Paix hotel will be our choice hotel again.

Spent the weekend at the De La Paix, very nice hotel in great location to stroll around town. Reasonable sized rooms, breakfast buffet well stocked and very helpful staff.
Champagne Houses are within a few minutes drive and lots of fantastic Brasserie style restraunts within easy walking distance.
Small indoor pool with sun loungers both indoor or on patio outside.
Approx 1hr 20 mins from CDG by car, 2 tolls to pay.. Debit/ credit cards accepted. Parking either in hotel (book in advance) or across the road in shopping centre - price approx the same.

The Hotel de la Paix has everything you would want in a city hotel -- spacious and attractively decorated rooms, a fine breakfast buffet, garage (but spaces somewhat limited -- book with your room), first-rate service and a convenient downtown location on an elegant street near fine restaurants and sites of interest. We only spent one night there but next time it will be more. The distance from CDG is short enough so you can plan on leaving directly from Reims to get your return flight home, which we plan for our next trip.

Stayed for 2 nights, reception staff were very friendly from the start.
Sorted out maps for the area, bus maps and gave advice on getting around.
Room was large, very clean and very comfortable. Bathroom clean and bright, seperate area for loo & shower. Toiletries were minimal though.
Breakfast room & buffet were both large..buffet had a really good choice, many many things to choose between. Hot/cold/pastries/pancakes/cereal, juices etc..
Lovely courtyard to sit and have a drink, large bar area too.
Pool, steam & sauna a bonus after a long morning walking around the City Centre.
Parking is 7 euros a day but worth it.
Location was brilliant. Hotel is a must if you come to stay in Reims.

This hotel is bang slap in the middle of Reims, near the station, restaurants and the Cathedral. Reception staff are nice and helpful, the rooms are large and well appointed. We loved the bathroom with a bath and walk in shower. Our room faced the street but even with the window open there was very little traffic. In addition the hotel has an underground car park. The 14 euros a day is a worth while investment as on street parking is difficult. Really good experience and added to our enjoyment of Reims.

We stayed here on two occasions recently as a stop off on our journey from Italy to the UK and back.
We were upgraded on both occasions and we were very pleased with everything at the hotel.
Beds really comfortable and the family rooms have a connecting room with small double bed, which was perfect for us.
We had room service on the way back, as the restaurant was heaving, but unfortunately as room service stops at 11.30, on the way to the UK we were too late due to car trouble and so went to bed hungry. Really like this hotel. We didn't have time to visit, but there is also a pool here.

Centrally located in Reims, walking distance from the Gare de Reims (train station) as well as the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims, the surrounding promenade and shopping district offer a wonderful day and evening atmosphere. The hotel is tastefully decorated, the rooms very comfortable: we stayed in a superior room which included a separate bath-tub and rainfall shower. The staff are very hospitable and accommodated our request on our last day to be able to leave our car parked in the garage past our checkout so that we could continue exploring before leaving Reims that afternoon. In the evenings the restaurant bar was surprisingly lively, though we found the drinks slightly more expensive than could be found in the area. The options at the hotel's breakfast buffet are lackluster, but there are more than enough options for a picturesque French bistro experience along the surrounding streets.

Stayed here back in 2013 and having our previous stay decided to use the hotel again for the second leg of this years champagne odyssey. The hotel now does an express breakfast in addition to the buffet breakfast. We used this on both mornings and found it filling and reasonable priced.
The hotel is very comfortable and has a well stocked bar with friendly knowledgeable bar staff and a nice outside sitting area for smokers.
I forgot to book the car park but plenty of room when we visited although I'd recommend booking to avoid disappointment.
Only slight criticism was a pervasive fishy smell in reception throughout our stay, but nothing to spoil the visit.
A good value hotel.

"Ideal hotel stay when visiting Reims"

Francescojazz, Seattle, Washington
20/04/2017

I can see why the Hotel de la Paix is highly popular with fellow travelers. First of all, it is very centrally located (we even had a bird's eye view of the cathedral from our room (see photo).
Secondly, the staff is very friendly and attentive to every need - they speak several languages and will be happy to converse in French with English speaking guests who want to practice (unlike just about everyone in Paris who refuses to address foreigners in French with an air of disdain). But I digress...
Our rate was inclusive of breakfast, and the buffet served until 11 am was absolutely lavish, make sure to make time to fully enjoy it as it is absolutely worth it.
Our room was rather small (typical European size) but comfortable and equipped with everything you may need - free WiFi, TV with remote, safe, etc.
The only drawback was the shower configuration, which was not completely enclosed, and therefore tends to splash water all over the place.
Finally, in-hotel parking was full, but we were able to park our car in a city owned lot directly across the street for about the same price, so that was no issue.
The city of Reims is an absolute jewel which deserves exploring on foot, and the Hotel de la Paix is the ideal place to stay when visiting.

Beautiful location, close to the Cathedral and Congress Center, shops and Champagne region. It is a non-smoking Hotel which we like. Our room was clean and nicely decorated and I could open the windows which I appreciate. The staff friendly and helpful. We had a rental car so parking at the hotel was convenient. We stayed only one night here prior to our family trip which started later that week in Paris but would definitely come back to enjoy the garden and terrace and stay longer.

We enjoyed our stay in Reims at the best Best Western I have ever stayed at. From the chandelier in lobby I could tell this wasn't your typical Best Western in the US. Definitely a solid 4 star hotel. We appreciated the complimentary bottle of water that was replenished daily. This hotel was a great location within a short walking distance to shops and restaurants. The Notre Dame cathedral is also just a 10 minute walk away. It is a little further to some of the champagne houses but we had no trouble walking. The front desk receptionist was extremely friendly and genuinely interested in where we were from. He said we were his first guests from Kansas and he mentioned how he loved Danny Manning. Small world.

This is a great hotel from which to explore central Reims. The front desk check-in process was very efficient. Our room at the rear of the hotel may not have had the best view but it was certainly quiet and comfortable. Given the room rate, I was a little disappointed that soaps and gels were dispensed from wall mounted bottles, such as you find in a Travelodge but, I guess, in this age of environmental awareness, it makes sense. My advice - take your own bathroom toiletries. Breakfast is good and with a wide choice. At €17 it's a little expensive so make the most of it. My only criticism is that in the evening they have a tendency to play the music (if that is what it was) in the bar at such a level that precluded conversation except with your immediate neighbour. This is, no doubt, to attract the younger element into the bar. Those of an older age and without the passion for rap and similar modern musical genres, have to escape to the seating area outside the bar to avoid it.

One of the most efficient hotels in champagne. Location is perfectly right in the middle of Champagne. Room is very comfortable.

The location is the key selling point here, the rooms are fine, the service is as expected and the hotel looks fairly up to date.
The location right in the center of town is great, we had a room on the courtyard, which meant it was nice and quiet. You can walk anywhere from here and we went all over town for dinner and to visit the different champagne houses (get a driver for this).
Only two notes, the central air system doesn't get the room very cool (it was Sept but still quite warm). And the safe contained items from the previous guests staying in the room, which should have been caught by the staff when servicing the rooms between guest stays. They were copies of passports and credit cards (basically everything needed for ID fraud), which we turned into the front desk for disposal.

Super Best Western Hotel. Hotel parking was under the hotel, so there was no issue searching for a spot. The room size was adequate. I would categorize it as a normal chain hotel room, but the decor was modern and clean. The beds were comfy and we were able to adjust the room temperature, which was wonderful with the change in weather conditions. We were able to walk to the city center. Stumbled across a concert featuring the French group Judy in the library. It was a wonderful surprise. We could see the beautiful cathedral as a backdrop to the free concert. Able to easily find places to eat within walking distance. Would definitely return.

Fantastic Hotel, friendly staff, very clean and great location.
Its within walking distance of most of the town which is on you doorstep where there are plenty of bars and other places to eat if you do not wish to stay in the hotels restaurant for dinner.
Rooms are spacious and very clean and we had a roof window to look out over the town which was nice.
We went for dinner in the restaurant downstairs adjoining it, food was well priced and excellent really couldn't fault anything about it.
Hotel bar is amazing with an extensive champagne list (you have to while in the champagne region), very up market bar and great at night, quite lively. There is a garden in the middle of the hotel if you wish to sit outside away from the music, or when it is sunny.
Underground secure parking for the bike, which was great think it was about 24 euros for the night.
Highly recommend a stay here.

Simple but stylish room.
Onsite pool and small gym with sauna made it a nice addition to the whole experience and to start the day.
Good selection of breakfast dishes and which more important - very tasty and of high quality.
I would highly recommend and if I ever come back - I will for sure stay here again!

Hotel de la Paix is an excellent base for anyone doing the Champagne tours, which can recommended as great fun and a great way to taste many Champagnes and buy some real bargains). It is well located in the centre of town and with excellent parking. So many places to eat are within easy walking distance (useful if you have tasted a few too many samples) and it's own restraint is also pretty good.
Our room was in the front of the Hotel, but we did not get much noise from the outside bars etc. even with the window open, as most are round the corner. The room was a reasonable size, clean and fairly basic but with an excellent bed. Bathroom also clean and well maintained with adequate but no frills. Breakfast also pretty good with hot and cold food available. Again, nothing fancy but of good quality and food to suit all nationalities.
The facilities are clearly optimised for short stay business and touring custom; where convenience and good nights sleep in a clean room is the prime requirement. These are met very well.
But there are some extras you don't normally expect in a City centre hotel. Such as the indoor pool and fitness centre, and quite a large and elegant courtyard space.
These lift this Hotel well above the average.
We have been regular visitors to Reims for many years and so far this is the best base we have found and will be there next year too restock the cellar.

We were told this is one of the nicer hotels in Reims, but we had many easily corrected issues. No shampoo or conditioner; no wash clothes. Kind of like the shower room in high school. The multi-purpose soap was attached to the wall of the shower. Room air conditioner was woefully inefficient. Windows open caused you to hear the bar crazies until 1:00AM. The room décor was IKEA on steroids.

This hotel is very well located, but ensure you do not have a room at the front I was given, despite requesting a quiet room.
There are bars below the hotel that are noisy as there are many young students in Reims.
It is a plus point having a good car park right below the hotel and excellent spacing, and lift access into the hotel itself. The hotel needs to let customers know in advance that the entrance to the hotel is at the side of the hotel.
Staff were not that helpful, with no one offering at any point to assist with our luggage.
The wifi does not have a very good virus protection and my laptop became a victim after of only five minutes of using this and not able to use for a week now until taken to a computer shop to fix.
Best Western seem to have revamped these rooms and hotels to a very clean basic and nice standard, but again beds here are quite hard for anyone preferring soft beds.

Modern well appointed hotel. Public areas and bedrooms are very stylish and spacious. I guess being in a city you expect to pay more and 14 euros for parking was acceptable in a very clean spacious garage under the hotel. However 40 euros to have the dogs in the room with us was too expensive and much more than we paid elsewhere. Reception staff were friendly. Had a corporate feel and would be more appropriate for business trips than us on holiday with dogs!

we have stayed here many times and it is still a good place to stay. Central, clean, good breakfast and very helpful staff. Not many gripes, the main one is that as usual the only socket, suitable for plugging in the kettle, is above the bedside table with little room for cups etc. The other thing is, lots of TV stations in any language you care to name, but only World, CNN and one other news channel in English. Sad I know, but sometimes it is nice to have a bit of English TV when you are getting ready to go out!!

One of the bonuses with this hotel is that it has underground parking. It's also on the main Place D'Erlon with lots of restaurants but is also close by to some of the larger champagne houses should you wish to visit.
Having visited this hotel about ten times over the past eight years or so, I noticed that the reception and public areas had undergone a recent facelift. Unfortunately the rooms are still the same; nothing wrong with them, but just starting to look a bit tired. Overall spotlessly clean though.
The best thing about the hotel is undoubtedly the location.

Reception staff was very accommodating and helped with luggage and wifi code right away. Evening staff was fast in issuing a new key after i left it upstairs and needed a new one.
Rooms were very nice and clean. Good standard Best Western property. Bathroom large and well equipped and shower had a nice pressure to it.
Bed, slept perfectly.
Breakfast was good and had all you need for a business hotel. However, and here I dropped the 5th star, the service personal was very impolite. I was traveling with Asians who are not the most fluent in English and they got barked at when it took them a second to figure out their room number.
All in all really good place and I'd recommend it as a business hotel in Reims.

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting Taittinger. The hotel is very well located in the heart of the city and is clean and modern. The size of the pool was a bit disappointing - more a plunge rather than a swimming pool - but no complaints with any other aspect. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. Well worth trying.

Hotel is well situated in the town centre. Onsite parking 14EUR per night. Breakfast is very good . Fantastic courtyard inside. The rooms for disabled are good although there is a strange rule that the rooms are limited to max 6 pillows. Fortunately this was not an issue. The bathroom is good for wheelchairs eg the basin is low and the shower is a walk in shower. The toilet does have one descending rail. On leaving we were asked about the disabled facilities and we advised them to get another hand rail by the toilet and make the door to the room easier to open as very difficult to push open for a disabled person. Pleased to say that they were very receptive to our suggestions. Not the cheapest EUR170 per night but all in all can definitely recommend as so much better than any of the other Reims hotels that claim to be disabled friendly.

Stayed here for 3 nights during a Champagne tour to Reims. We had a double privilege room which was great. Larger than your average European city room with a fantastic bathroom, having large separate shower and bath, with robes and slippers. Bed was very comfy and there were tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge. We had breakfast each morning which was good quality and choice. We only used the bar not the restaurant but found that to be a great buzzy atmosphere and all the staff throughout the hotel spoke good English and were always very pleasant and helpful. Great central location and within a hop skip and a jump of loads of restaurants. Would definitely recommend for a trip to Reims.

Stayed two nights as part of a road trip around Northern France, lovely location close to the centre of town near to a good choice of restaurants and within walking distance of the sights of Reims. Room was as expected of a hotel of this grade and staff helpful and attentive.
Parking 14 euros per night but nice to know that the car was safe under the hotel. Smallish pool and spa area but as we were the only ones using it this was more than enough.

Clean, efficient, nice size room, good slightly firm mattress. However, no help at arrival with luggage, must make parking reservations in advance or else park across the street in multilevel building with very narrow spiral lanes. Not enough lights in room.
Over all, quality experience, friendly staff, central location to various sites.

This would probably be described as a business hotel but it suited my wife very well when we were in the city on 2 seperate days this week. Really short walk to Cathedral, Champagne maisons and good eateries. Gym on the small side but each time I went I was alone so no problem there :)

We stayed in this hotel several times over a twenty year period. Our accommodations and service was consistently during each of our stays. This time we stayed in the largest room on the fifth floor in the old wing facing the pedestrian mall. We did not hear any noise from the street since we did not sleep with open windows. The rooms were renovated, clean with new fixtures. Our room was really well set for a single person on a business trip. With a little rearrangement of the furniture we managed to have a six nights stay as a couple. To understand a possible shortcomings of the accommodation one needs to keep in mind overall hotel standards in France. For french standards, the room was big with a separate toilet and shower. And in a new wing the rooms are larger but not as newly appointed as our room was. Towels are not changed daily, so one needs to request a fresh set of towels or slippers for the swimming pool and sauna. The room service is also unpredictable if you not not plan to be away from the room entire day. However, the staff is very helpful and every request is immediately attended and addressed in a timely manner. The breakfast is included in the room price and has a very good selection of food and drinks. The courtyard across the dinning room provides a nice setting for enjoying morning coffee a little longer. The business center was out of order, but again the staff was very helpful allowing me to use their computers. The hotel has its own restaurant which is a step better than the surrounding eateries. The menu was mainly on a seafood side and since we were there during a very hot weather we did order any of their specialties.

We chose the Hotel de la Paix both on the way out and the way back for our motorcycle tour to Switzerland ... and they offer a fantastic central location and parking for the bikes.
This is our third visit and they have consistently offered a really welcoming and friendly service ... ever when you turn up in leathers !
The location is ideal ... being very easy to get to from the motorway and only a few feet from a huge selection of restaurants, sights, shops and chocolate outlets !!
For the quietest rooms ... go for the seventh floor at the back ... lovely views and peaceful nights.
For a treat - walk the (very) short distance to the train station and take a day out exploring the champagne houses in Epernay ... VERY enjoyable !

"Good hotel"

Mcneilius, Mumbai (Bombay), India

This is a good hotel, stayed here with my wife, toddler daughter and my mum and dad.
The hotel is very central, walking distance into the city centre and only 2 minutes from many restaurants and 5 minutes from the cathedral.
They have underground parking with quite a few spaces, it's well lit and secure.
The bar has just been refurbished, though I haven't tried it because it only opened today! We had use of a temporary outside bar which was fine, and they have some outdoor seating in a central courtyard, which was nice.
The pool is a good size and is clean. They also have a steam room and sauna and a very small gym.
Breakfast is fine - we avoided it the first morning due to some bad reviews on here, but tried it on mornings 2 and 3 because we couldn't deal with not being able to get sausage and eggs in town! There is a good selection and the quality is fine. The staff happily provided high chair for baby and nice coffee soon followed. All 3 generations of the family found something they liked and it set us up for a good day out.
The property is well maintained and clean throughout.
But the best thing about his hotel is the staff on the front desk - they were extremely helpful. Over the course of 3 days I badgered them with all sorts of questions about restaurants, large champagne houses, small champagne producers, taxis, changing bookings, map
Directions, calling places that didn't speak English etc and they happily obliged. They made the holiday really, and my family got experiences that they would otherwise have not enjoyed, had the hotel staff not been so helpful.
Suggestions for improvement? We had two rooms and I was a bit surprised they were not adjoining. On check in, we were given one room and had to wait one hour for the other one. A couple that checked in after us were given the adjoining room - I don't know why. I was also asked to surrender my car keys upon check in, despite the fact that my car wasn't blocking anyone in. It probably has something to do with some people parking their car inconsiderately in the basement and the hotel wanting to shuffle cars around to maximise space - but I felt uncomfortable with the request and I refused.
However these are small opportunities for improvement on an overall great hotel.
If I stay in Reims again, I will definitely stay here.

We used this hotel for an overnight stop on our way to Switzerland and it was perfect for the purpose. There is parking just across the road if you don't want to use the the hotel facilities and there are many restaurants within a few minutes walking from the front door. The cathedral is five minutes away and it is right in the middle of the shopping district.
We found the room quiet, well appointed and the bed comfortable. It is a typical medium-high quality corporate hotel. The staff at the front desk were pleasant and helped with a map and tourist guidance which got us off to a good start

We used this hotel as a stop=over on our way back to the channel ports from Alsace. Since we stayed here a year ago, there have been some changes - in particular, the bar is currnetly undergoing refurbishment. We stayed in a room on a higher floor this time and enjoyed the view that this afforded. It remained comfortable, clean, and well soundproofed. We particularly enjoyed the luxury of a stand-up shower - something that shouldn't be taken for granted!
Breakfast wasn't included in our deal this time, but it was certainly no hardship to pop round the corner in to one of several cafes offering a morning repast.
The staff in the hotel remain courteous, efficient and friendly and I reiterate my advice of last year - book a parking place in advance, you won't regret it.

arljinsci, Surrey, United Kingdom

This has all the facilities of a first rate hotel and is directly in the city centre. Having stayed at other Best Western hotels I was pleasantly surprised at the standard here.
The rooms are a good size, extremely comfortable and meticulously clean. There is a pool and underground parking, which is charged extra.
Unfortunately the restaurant was a little disorganised - but we were a large party of 50 or so, so we forgave them.
There was a temporary bar rigged in a marquee as the main bar was being refurbished. This was not a success as we had a gigantic rainstorm during our time there and access was from outside and in the tent the sound of the rainfall was deafening!
But all in all, this hotel is highly recommended.

There are many reasons to stay at the Hotel de la Paix: It has a fantastic location within walking distance to sites and restaurants. The rooms are comfortable, modern and clean. We lucked out and had a room facing the back where it was quieter (we happened to be in Reims on the evening when France's football team won against Germany and the crowds on the street were wild into the middle of the night). And there is underground parking! This was very important to us since we were driving with a classic car. Tip: book the parking space when you book your room, as there are limited parking spaces.

Crjcarr, San Francisco, California

Overall, a very nice hotel. The location is very convenient to the main drag in Reims, great for walking, people watching, and grabbing a meal al fresco on the strip. Short walk to Notre Dame de Reims (cathedral). The central courtyard is lovely, framed by a gothic facade on one side, with a nice drink list and good service. The room we had was quite small, a bit of a surprise given that this isn't Paris. My only other gripe is that they were not able to offer parking, which is hard to find in that area of Reims. We were told we needed to call and reserve parking ahead of time. However, we were able to arrange parking for the 4 days at a public multistory/garage right across the street. You'll need some one who speaks French to negotiate this as the garage personnel do not speak English. But Euro$24 for 3 days parking was a better rate than the hotel anyway.... If you're planning on driving to Reims, call ahead for parking if you're staying here. The concierges were excellent, and managed to arrange dinner reservations and cave visits/tastings early for us.

We thought this hotel was truly excellent. It is very central with many good testaurants within a short walk. The staff was warm and welcoming and were happy to make any reservations required. The room was spotless and had every amenity including a great shower. There is a delightful courtyard in which to enjoy a pre- dinner drink or nightcap and the breakfast was fabulous. There is also secure parking which made using a city centre hotel very easy. We thoroughly recommend this hotel and will certainly be using it again.

Liked this hotel for it's central location, it's modern style, medium sized rooms. The staff couldn't have been nicer- particularly Betty at the front desk, who went the extra mile in helping us. The minus- breakfast is not included- extra charge is 15 euro per person, per day. Parking is also a little confusing. There is parking lot across the street, plus the hotel has it's own small, reservation only parking area. You really need to do a little research to figure out which is the best deal. At first, the 14 euros per day at the hotel's parking looked good, compared to the parking garage at 18 euros. But (at a helpful hotel employee's suggestion) we asked the parking garage for a two day rate- which came in a much better deal than the hotel. All things considered, the price is a little high for the hotel room, as well.

We visited this hotel en route from Provençe back home to the UK via the Channel Tunnel.
On arrival I went in to ask about parking and was greeted by the most superb member of staff in hospitality I have ever come across... Vincent, one of the receptionists.. He was the most helpful, intelligent and aware person we could have wished for - a credit to the industry.
We took the top-box off, parked underground and the hotel kept our top-box in their left luggage room. Without asking, Vincent took our luggage to our room too. So, we went up with our dog too.
Great room for the three of us and the dog.
The only down side was wanting to order a bottle of wine in the bar... They refused to serve us! What! I pointed out a couple who had wine and was told they had champagne and that's all you can order by the bottle... Crazy. Ridiculous hotel policy... Change, you need to, otherwise guests will just bring bottles with them and not spend money in your bar.
Breakfast was typically French but the scrambled egg and bacon were dire.
You need to promote Vincent!
We will be back ( bringing our own wine though!)

Berichthier214, Buren, The Netherlands

We stayed here in two rooms in August 2014. The hotel is easy to find. Parking is a bit of a problem. We did book a parking space in advance. Alas, it seems regular (French?) customers have priority. Our space was gone and we had to park across the street. Proved to be cheaper as well. And you don't have to bother the aloof concierge/ front desk.
As said, the very French (English is somewhat of a problem in this hotel) staff was in no hurry to check the details of our reservation. But once found they granted us our rooms. The rooms are very nice with a contemporary design. Reasonably spacious with a separate sitting area and bedroom (divider). The bathroom is large. There is AC and a good reception of WiFi. The view is on the inner courtyard and, over the rooftops in the far distance, of the Cathedral. Breakfast was adequate, food from room service was well prepared and came with nice extra's.
Al in al a run of the mill hotel. If staff would be a little less distant and absent it would be a great place to stay. At this moment it looks as if they tolerate guests.

Picked this hotel due to location and it is certainly very convenient for the station and for walking around the town. Also close to many bars and restaurants. Pictures on website a little confusing as they seem to show a view from the inner courtyard rather than the front. Reception staff were very helpful before and during check in. The room was fine and quiet at night with good aircon (1st floor overlooking the front), but wondered afterwards whether it might have been better to have upgraded. The bath had a shower over which worked OK, but the space would probably work better with a shower only. The décor in the room and the corridors was a little dark and gloomy. Nice to have tea and coffee facilities in the room, but 2 tea bags is a little mean. Wifi was a bit unreliable in the room. Breakfast was buffet style with very attentive waiting staff and was perfect for us so no complaints there. There was a temporary bar in place due to refurbishment. We were going to try it, but we didn't like the ambience of the temporary tent style structure and the restricted drink choice. Perfectly good hotel for a couple of nights stay (and you are out all day), but not sure I would want to stay for a longer break. Did not try the hotel restaurant but it looked nice.

Hotel under construction, clean, 15€ breakfast fair to average.
Arriving at the train station I fell and severely hurt my elbow, bleeding everywhere, etc. got to the hotel & asked the front desk to call a doctor, that took 2 1/2 hours. Dr. was great.
Departing ask the front desk to call a taxi to assist me to get to the airport, waited, waited, went back in 3 times asking for assistance, 'have a train to catch', The 3rd time he said 'oh well, better start walking'. With a busted elbow I had to carry a suitcase down cobble streets.
Missed my train, missed my connection in Paris...

We chose this hotel due to its cancellation policy and its proximity to the town centre. Check in was efficient thanks to a very friendly receptionist who couldn't have been more helpful. Our room was available and was exactly as we expected. Modern comfortable and with all amenities, comfy bed, contempory bathroom with separate bath and walk in shower. Large flat screen TV, aircon, mini bar etc.
We were on the first floor at the front of the hotel. Saturday night is quite busy in Reims but we didn't find it too noisy.
WiFi was a little sketchy in the room, far better in the hotel lobby. Aircon was nice and quiet but not the most efficient.
Hotel has a small pool, fitness centre, Sauna and Hamman, we used all the facilities and had them to ourselves despite the hotel being fully booked.
Didn't use the bar or restaurant
Reception booked a Champagne House tour and taxi for us and advised us of a few "must sees" Really helpful.
We would return

Hotel de la Paix was a perfectly acceptable hotel. It's about what you would expect from a Best Western in the U.S.--maybe not a 4 star, but a decent sized room and bathroom with air conditioning, wifi that worked and a minibar. Breakfast downstairs had a good selection and was convenient since we were being picked up at the hotel for our tour. All the staff spoke perfect English, and the hotel was located in close proximity to many restaurants and shopping spots.

We booked this hotel for 2 nights. Before we arrived, they sent mails concerning special wishes. we felt really welcome.
We made a reservation for a parking space in the hotel. I was really happy we did this, because I felt really safe (the car was stuffed with wine and champagne).
We had a nice room (3persons superior). It would have been nice to have a small terrace.
They were rebuilding the bar, but they had a temporary bar in the garden. This was really well done!
Only dissapointment were the cold eggs in the morning, but that's it!
The hotel has a very good location. We will certainly come back.

Wow, This is quite a bad experience here:
Arrived to hotel in a rental car, parked in front of hotel to get our suitcases out. We could not get out as there was no exit from the entrance, so after we were told there was no available parking backed up and went to parking garage across the street. Talked to front desk about what the issue with the entrance is and instead of apologizing were told this is not a car entrance and started questioning us. Worst arrival experience!
Rooms are subpar, smell bad, very small.
location is quite bad for Reims as the street is quite shady and really low class bars and cafes are on that street, you forget you are in the Champagne region. (Agree 100% with Canvazz on this one)
Highly recommend against staying at this place.

The official description suggests this hotel is closer than it is. However, from our large comfortable room with balcony overlooking an internal courtyard, we could see the towers of the Cathedral and had a pleasant short walk there. We stayed one night on our way through France. Easy to get to, a pleasant large frontage in a cobbled street. We were told to drive up to the garage door to the right of the main entrance to be let in. The entrance is spacious; I found the internal architecture a bit tricky, and got lost coming back from the pool, a map would help! The internal decoration is interesting, theme seems to be African Savannah, on our floor animal paintings and wide corridors with floor cube lights. The room itself was divided, so the entrance and table with chairs not visible from the bed, worked well for in-room breakfast. Modern bathroom with great bath,with hand shower; door through to walk in shower and and separate loo. The restaurant was OK for us, given choice of courtyards or inside to eat. Food was fine, service quick and efficient.
My only disappointment was the pool area. Situated in the fitness area, small changing room with lockers which need a Euro( hotel info tells you towels and shower there, but not that a Euro is needed...). Have to walk past the machines to get to the pool, which was warmish. OK for a swim for exercise but not inviting, has a liner not tiles; one end is mostly obscured but can be overlooked from a bar area, just seemed odd. I never did find the shower,went back to my room.
Overall, was perfectly OK for us, a safe bet,but not stellar.

It was OK. The hotel's location is great in Reims. In the middle of the town centre. A happening ground floor bar. Dull, almost clinical room. Has all what is expected but it is...dull. The bed was a bit tired. The bathroom large and clean. The internet reliable and OK. Not very engaging for being in the middle of the Champagne region. Nothing local about it.

To feel the tast of Champagne, you can easily go to our bar. We have more than 100 different bottles of champagne there.
Our Front Desk staff can book for you the visit of a champagne cellar to discover one of the Maison de Champagne in the city of Reims.
Moreover, within 10 to 15 minutes by car you can have a walk in the vineyard.

I loved this hotel for giving me more than I expected. The room (mid-level) was bright, air conditioned, good wi-fi, roomy (separate seating area from bed area) and an attractive bathroom with the shower and toilet closed off with a sliding door from the sink and tub area. Separate tea, coffee maker and mini-bar area. Plugs near mirrors so you could dry your hair outside of the bathroom. The room divider held a large TV that could swivel around to the bed or the sitting area. The buffet breakfast was delicious and well worth the price. Staff couldn't be more helpful. DEFINITELY RESERVE PARKING IN ADVANCE.

Hotel de la Paix is centrally located....walking to all historic sites from here is doable but also the location provides access to many brasseries and restaurants in close proximity. Did their breakfast once---very complete and would easily carry you through to dinner---but we prefer to just have coffee and croissant in one of the many street cafes nearby. The hotel also provided lunch for the meeting which was held there. Excellent! Never ate in their restaurant, but assume it's the same food preparers.
The front desk was very courteous but slow to respond to a room maintenance issue---also printed out boarding pass without barcode which proved to be a huge hassle, so watch for that.
Since this hotel is the midst of all the action, noise on the front of the hotel might be more than desired. The hallways and rooms are designed to keep out noise so it is quiet on all the floors, it's just the streets. I would ask for the back side which is quieter and has a sweet view. Also, of you get upper floors you should be able to see the Cathedral etc from that height.
I would think this hotel could be a top choice for the area, especially if you can manage a slightly greater price and ask for a larger room. We didn't and are regretful---friends did and said it was perhaps the most comfortable they've been in any European accommodation. ---I thought that was impressive.

My husband and I have just enjoyed two nights in a Deluxe room, and can't recommend this hotel enough. What is everyone complaining about??
Positives:
- location is excellent, right in the centre of town and 50 yards from main pedestrian thoroughfare.
- clean, sleek modern lobby and corridors.
- equally sleek and functional bedroom. Well laid out to maximise the floor space. Nice big bath and separate rain shower.
- large, comfortable bed. On the hard side which suits us, but obviously not suited to all tastes.
-friendly, helpful staff at reception, particularly Clemence.
- discounted parking in the city car park opposite (24hr security).
Negatives:
- none
Overall:
We found this hotel to perfectly suit our requirements of being central, easily accessible, and providing a comfortable environment. We did not use the swimming pool, gym, restaurant, or eat breakfast so cannot offer any insight into these. We would absolutely stay here again and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Reims. On a side note, we walked to the Basilica and Champagne Houses, it is only about 20 minutes so no need to drive out as some have suggested.

Very nice room (Privilège), bathroom with shower and bath. Friendly and helpful staff, easy check in/out. Bottle of champaign (Canard-Duchêne) was served in the room upon arrival, as ordered. You can leave your car in the garage during your stay for only 12 € extra. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice of fresh products. Top location: cathedral, bars, restaurants and shops at walking distance. You'll need a car to visit the maisons the champagne in the surroundings, although top locations Pommery, Mumm and Veuve-Cliqot in the city could possibly be reached by public transport. We had a very lovely stay in this hotel, the city and its surroundings! One thing though: used champaign glasses, bottles and coffee cups were not removed from the room when cleaning it.

We stayed in a deluxe room and were very happy with the size. Large bedroom and bathroom with a good separate shower. Very comfortable bed. Good buffet breakfast with plenty of choice. Has an indoor pool but we didn't use it as we had great sunny weather. Close to the Cathedral for the excellent sound and light show at 11pm- a must do! Would recommend the hotel and very clean.

What a fine time we had in Reims. Hotel offered inside parking in the lower level. It was across the street from a small mall which offered both a supermarket and a coffee shop which saved us about $20 a day. We had coffee here every day rather than spend $15 each at the hotel. Right around the corner were 2 city blocks of restaurants with every type of food offered. The city itself is just a short walk from the hotel and the main road is just minutes away. They even suggested a doctor when my wife developed a severe cough

We chose this hotel simply because of the secure underground parking. It was well located in the centre of reims.
Small pool, sauna and steam room and the tiniest "gym" I've ever seen - basically 4 bits of equipment in a small corridor between the pool and the changing rooms
Room was very very small - hardly any space to put luggage. Bathroom lighting was awful - not recommended for putting on make up
Windows didn't have good glazing so could hear all the road noise at all hours.
Would only stay here if your desperate for a parking space

We had a classic queen room which had updated decor, comfortable bed and a great new bathroom with a separate toilet. There was a door that could be opened out to a small balcony. We were overlooking the street. The hotel was a 10 minute walk from the train station and close to an area with a lot of eating places. We did not have breakfast so I cannot comment on that, but based on our room I would definitely stay there again if I ever went back to Reims.

We had a business meeting with +40 participants in this hotel.
All was well arranged.
Friendly and helpful staff, very clean rooms , and good sleeping quality.
As renovation works are going on , the bar is in a temporary place , but is a fine place to be. Food and supplies during the conference were fine.
Easy accessible , parking available and right in the center of Reims.
Unfortunately the conference room had a low ceiling and was only just big enough for our group. Not possible to open the windows for a long time because of the noise of the street , would be better if it was located on the other side of the building.
Also the lift was very slow . Wifi could be better, you had to start it up again and again (no memory of user and password) - could be improved.

Stayed here for 5 nights as our base for exploring the region. Hotel was extremely comfortable, staff friendly (especially the ladies running the breakfast room) and extremely conveniently located.
The bar was under refurbishment during our stay, but we never once bothered by any construction noise. The hotel has created a temporary bar while the work is carried out, and this is fine - in any case there are plenty of other options for a drink just outside the hotel walls!
Would also recommend Cafe de la Paix (the hotel restaurant) for a good - reasonably priced - bistro dinner.
We would stay here again.

"A mixed experience "

redpaolo, Chester, United Kingdom

After parking opposite, we made our short walk to the hotel entrance. Quite grand and impressive, despite the lack of a doorman to greet us.
Check in at reception was rather "functional" with no interest shown in our stay. No too bothered about this but I always think that first impressions of a hotel are a good indicator of what you are going to get. And that proved to be true.
Room on the third floor was rather basic, with cord carpet and Formica furniture. Nothing "Best" or "Plus" about this room. More like "Travelodge".
Toiletries were non existent and tea/coffee supplies were pathetic. I wanted to complain or at least change rooms but my wife was feeling unwell so she insisted on just putting up with it.
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
I ventured to the bar to find a nice sitting area staffed by two non-smiling barmen who struggled to make eye contact. As it wasn't busy I was able to get their attention to get a beer whilst I went through my emails (the internet signal was very weak in the room).
We needed a taxi to travel out that evening and I made an advanced booking which arrived on time and the driver made arrangements for the return journey which he was on time for too (impressive for a Saturday night).
Breakfast was ok. The room was quite large and noisy, but everything was available and service was fine.
English speaking receptionist booked us out and she was very pleasant and genuinely enquired about our stay. She was clearly disappointed when we said we found things "ok" and she didn't follow up on why we weren't more obviously pleased.
Overall, an uninspiring stay and I couldn't recommend it others based on our one night stay. Many other reviewers seem to think differently, so maybe we just stayed in the wrong room on the wrong night.

This hotel is well placed right in the city center of Reims, though easy accessable by car as well as by train as the train station is only 1 km far. Inhouse parking place are available. The hotel offers WiFi, inhouse swimming pool and meeting room facilities, the later only useful for smaller groups. The breakfast buffet is typical french, the restaurant offers international food at good quality. Best are the spacious rooms - though as the hotel is placed in the center, you might keep the window closed to avoid hearing the noise from the street. Very good service overall!

DavidP26, Ware, United Kingdom

We booked this seeing reviews on Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. The car park is worth paying for even if the spaces are a bit challenging for larger cars like ours! Our room was on the top floor of a new block that faced the cathedral over a road at right angles to the main hotel. We were delighted with it. The view was sensational and the room clean and comfortable with new fittings and a walk in "wet room". The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The only disappointment was the coffee provided in the room. It tasted awful and the only milk to add to it was in two minuscule sachets one of which had already been used by another client.
Presumably this is done to encourage caffeine addicts to rush down for breakfast!
We declined and instead went out of the hotel to the right. At the roundabout turn left and on the opposite side of the road (Place Drouet) after about 50 yards is a small cafe (istanbul) selling a wonderful French breakfast for about 6 euros.

I usually wait a few weeks before posting a review so that I can reflect on it better, however, I'm doing this sooner to help other travelers. There are limited lodging options in Reims and I'll have to admit that walking around the Hotel de la Paix seemed like the best option for in-town Reims. On the plus side, we had a superior room that was large enough to spread out during our 2 week tour. We also had a balcony overlooking the courtyard which was also pleasant. They also offered underground parking which was very convenient as we had a car that we used to do the Champagne Road and also other visits. Neutral was the desk service. We found the women working the front desk to be very helpful and welcoming while you were lucky to get a glare from the men working there.
The big negative is noise. At the present time the hotel is undergoing significant construction INCLUDING DEMOLITION. Also the bar is part of the courtyard and has outside seating while being open until 2:00 a.m. The situation is you hear noise from the bar until late night and then wake up early to construction including a jack hammer breaking up concrete. No where was this explained to us when we booked. Both the hotel and the flag - Best Western - should note this on their booking sites as I have seen done in other places.
The construction may be temporary but having a late night bar with in hearing of upgraded rooms seems to be permanent.

You have to drag your bag upstairs to enter hotel!!!
Travelling for 5 weeks our bags weigh 20kg each but they are awkward.
Major construction underway & staff do not care that the noise of drilling above your room is disturbing to say the least!
Breakfast!?! I appreciate the French do not eat breakfast but when we are paying for it you expect a certain standard. You'll be fortunate to find much to eat as the staff don't restock often this includes glasses etc. preference seems to be given to French speakers as they were able to get fresh coffee instead of the stewed version sitting on the buffet.
Room is a comfortable size with separate shower. Soap on tap only, no body lotion or vanity kit provided. 1 complimentary bottle of water for 2!
There is only 1 lift to service 11 floors including ground & -1.

Not the easiest hotel to find but it is perfectly located for those who want to dine, see the Our Lady Cathedral and Archbishops' Palace Museum, and the WWII Surrender Museum. The staff is exceptionally helpful...the facilities are elegant and top of the line. One tip: be certain to reserve parking at the hotel when you book a room...else you park across the street in the "mall" parking lot, which is a bit of a hassle...

to find, although my satnav wasn't fully up to date with one way streets around the tram routes.
The hotel was full when we stayed and I was told that the car park was full, even though I had asked for a parking place when I booked the room. To be fair to the hotel they did let me into the car park to see if I could find a space. Some of the parking spaces were seriously tight but I managed to find one with some reasonable room between mine and the next car.
Our room was quite large and well laid out with a King Size bed. The TV could be fully rotated between the bedroom and sitting area and the bathroom was nice and big with a good shower room.
Being at the front of the hotel it was a bit noisy from the street in front.
The hotel is situated quite centrally with lots of restaurants and bars close by. The Cathedral is only a short walk away.
Breakfast was disappointing all round. The breakfast room looked dated and not too clean. The food and service were ok but not great .
Reception staff were helpful and friendly.

So just as many others have done, I read reviews over and over trying to find just the right hotel sight unseen. I'd only driven here and stopped for lunch so relied on TA. Thanks to all the honest reviewers! It really was reasonable walking distance which mattered as storms threatened, and the taxi driver didn't want to get out of line for a short trip. Check-in was friendly and flawless. And right now I'm sitting in my bed looking at the Cathedral when I lean about 4 inches! Who could ask for better? The room is tastefully done and quite current in a clean lovely way. And my adult son loved unwinding in the pool after walking and tasting. I look forward to returning. Oh, and the Cathedral is easily just a ten-minute walk.
Hint: Room 825 has a view of quaint old rooftops and the Cathedral. And there's one-day laundry service.

My wife and i thoroughly enjoyed this hotel - the hotel has a fabulous location near the city center with numerous shops, restaurants, bakeries, etc all within easy walking distance.
Our room was large with a comfortable sitting area. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was a good size and wifi was provided. The colors were a bit garish for our taste but everything was immaculate and in excellent condition!
The only 2 small negatives were ongoing construction in the core patio area - the noise was not evident from our room but was intrusive in the lobby and bar areas - and the horrible wine served in the bar (this is a champagne town - if you want wine - beware - the red wine they selected was truly hideous).
Bottom line - an excellent, well-run hotel. We would not hesitate to stay there again on our next visit to Reims!

Together with a great central location 10 minutes way from the Cathedral, the hotel offers a secure underground car-park which is an asset for car tourists. We had a Deluxe room on the top floor with a King bed, offering plenty of room and all amenities including, unusually, both a bath and a shower. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which fronts to a street to the side, but with a separate entrance for hotel guests. We thought the menu seemed better than many of the rather 'touristy' restaurants/bars in the surrounding area (although we did not explore far) and the food and service were quite adequate. Reception staff were courteous and helpful. The only negative was the free Wi-Fi (in French it's apparently pronounced to rhyme with Fifi) which like some other hotel establishments has adopted a log-in system requiring the input of your e-mail address; this itself is no more than a mild irritation, but became a problem when it gave rise to constant difficulty in getting on line. This niggle apart, fully recommended.

Took a group touring in France and in the Champagne district this hotel in the city centre of Reims is always a good choice.
Position is excellent and a short walk from the Cathedral, shops and some of the city centre Champagne houses.
Best rooms are in the newer block, these are "Privilege Rooms". Quite spacious, modern furnishings, a large bathroom with bath and walk in shower. Soap dispensers are quite awkward to use but otherwise very comfortable.
The breakfast room has been improved since last time, breakfast is a simple but adequate choice.
Staff are friendly and for those with cars there is underground parking (which needs to be pre-booked) or the large multi storey opposite.
Without doubt this is the best choice in central Reims.

Our experience at this hotel was average - not great, not bad. We would stay at a location nearer to the Champagne houses if we were to return. You could walk to them, but it was around a 20-30 min walk. We did that both days because we like to see the various neighborhoods. The room was ok, bed was fine, bathroom was clean - but nothing that sticks out as particularly great. We arrived around 11am and although the hotel did not seem very busy, we had to store our luggage as our room was supposedly not ready. When we were ready to leave to go to the train station (about a 10-15 min walk), we asked the front desk to call us a cab since we had all of our luggage. They called us a cab and we waited for 15 min...and were getting nervous about missing our train to Paris. When we went back inside, the front desk person said, "oh, didn't you know - that happens all the time" and called again....then told us it would be a 20 min wait! Her attitude was that she couldn't care less and she should have warned us the first time....we ended up running to the train station bags in tow and almost missed the train. SO, know that it is hard to get a taxi from this hotel and/or you will wait for it!! We didn't eat here so have no knowledge of the food options.

A great location for all the family very close to the centre for shopping and for restaurants and entertainment.
The hotel has only on drawback for the business person as do all hotels the lack of power points for the many gadgets which people have. A simple solution might be a fourway extension lead with outlets and two usb.
Breakfast is a simple buffet of fruit, meats hot and cold and pastries along with a chose of juices and coffee and tea.
Well worth a visit just a stones throw from the vineyards of Champagne.

The hotel is very good as I would expect from a Best Western hotel. The room we have is spacious and the bar is fun. Food is good (well breakfast is all we had) but the staff are wonderful.
My partner's mother left some luggage at a previous hotel and Aurora, who works on reception, was fantastic in helping her get the luggage back. She went out of her way and nothing was a problem.
That level of service is unusual these days and was tremendously impressive.
I highly recommend this hotel, mostly for this and specifically Aurora, but also for the rest of the hotel and especially the location (it is very central).

This hotel was "just fine" - and I don't mean that in a strongly negative way, but in a "good place to hang your hat" if you're touring the Champagne region and need a convenient place to sleep and nothing more. We got a very reasonable Internet rate and I think our rooms were smaller because of that - at least the space between doorways further down the hallway looked spaced much farther apart than ours, which were located closest to the elevator. A nice feature was a door that you could close between the entrance hallway & your sleeping area, which blocked out most hallway noise. Skip breakfast here - poor quality and over-priced. It's easier and more satisfying to grab some pastries just down the street. Front desk staff was helpful when asked.

This is a large, modern hotel, conveniently located in the centre of Reims. We had stayed before and were happy to return with friends. It has a secure underground car park, which is worth booking in advance.
We had booked deluxe double rooms, which are very spacious, modern and nicely decorated, with a very comfortable bed, sitting area with sofa and two tables with two chairs at each of them. The bathrooms have a large bath and separate shower. On this occasion we had rooms overlooking the courtyard, which were much quieter than the rooms overlooking the street at the front of the hotel.
The bar hasn't changed - it is still busy and noisy and still has no list of champagnes by the glass, which seems strange in the capital of Champagne!
Staff were all quite friendly and helpful.

We booked the hotel last minute for a short two-day trip to Champagne. It is centrally located and within walking distance from the cathedral and many restaurants. We really liked the modern and clean look of the interior. The room was very spacious and had everything needed. Wifi was free and fast. Staff were super efficient, very friendly and everybody was more than happy to speak English. The breakfast included all you would want and more.

Very nice, clean accommodation and within easy walking distance to the Cathedral. Shops, bars and restaurants are right on your doorstep. Rooms are well sized, comfortable pillows and duvet. Air conditioning temp about right and you can open your bedroom windows! It was a bit noisy at night with the window open onto the main road however. A nice buffet breakfast with cooked and continental options. I love the warm waffles! Lots of bread choices too.

We stayed one night at Les Crayeres our first night in Reims. Then we needed to return to the reality of our budget and stayed at Hotel de la Paix for two nights. We booked a standard queen bed room and apparent were upgraded at check in to a slightly larger room. The bed was easily large enough for two people, and the room was a generous size city hotel room. We were in the eighth floor and right next to the elevator, but the room was quite soundproof. The rooms are furnished in a modern urban chic which may not work for everyone but was agreeable enough for us. The bathroom was nicely appointed. We had breakfast for two days. While it was not nearly as nice a breakfast as Les Crayeres it was half the price. The service of the staff worked well for us. For the central location and the price this is a very nice city hotel. Would definitely stay here again.

This was our second time at HdlP and it was good to see that standards had not dropped since last year. The hotel is centrally located so you are in close proximity to the main bars, cafes, restaurants, shops and the Cathedral, but a bit of a hike to the champagne houses themselves. The hotel itself is clean, modern, functional and the staff extremely courteous and patient with our attempts to try our French - fortunately they all have impeccable spoken English when the need arises! The underground parking is an absolute godsend and for €14 a night, is well worth the peace of mind you get in return. The only slight drawback is the lighting in the rooms and no mirror in the actual bedroom area for us girls to sit and do our make-up properly. It wasn't that much of an issue last time we stayed, but this year we booked some smart restaurants and wanted to make a bit of an effort! But a minor drawback in what was otherwise a very pleasant stay.

I was a bit apprehensive when my work recommended this place, since it was a Best Western. I was pleasantly surprised! They upgraded me to a superior room, and they were a very large size, similar to North American-sized rooms.
I liked that they don't waste toiletries - they have large refillable dispensers, but still nicely laid out and elegant, not cheap-looking.
The hotel is very conveniently located close to the train station and right in the centre of the city. The staff were super friendly, and they have a really cute courtyard to have tea and breakfast. There's also gym amenities, which can be rare to find.

Our room was beautiful, perfectly clean, seemed very recently updated, bathroom had impeccably clean new fixtures. Shower with rain shower head and great water pressure and lots of hot water. Gorgeous new soaking tub. Breakfast was not included but nice sized buffet, all fresh items, good strong coffee, delicious croissants and pastries appeared freshly made. I do not usually like midrange hotels, having been spoiled by the premier hotels I have visited, but this hotel was almost perfect. I needed a washcloth, however, and they do not provide them. The bath sheet made up for any feelings of discontent! I look forward to another visit.
I must add that the staff was friendly, helpful, welcoming, and tolerated my poor French with grace!

Perfect location in the center of everything; big modern bathrooms/showers; great garage parking; wonderful breakfasts and, lastly, a great restaurant attached to the property that doesn't close in the afternoon! Yes, this property has it all, not to mention English speaking staff that are incredibly good (and nice).

Hotel has a pool which is a nice attraction.

Actually stayed in February 2015 with my boyfriend, for an extended weekend.
The rooms are amazing, lots of space with a lovely bathroom - separate bath and shower.
The location is fantastic, right in the centre and extremely easy to get to all of the champagne houses, as well as sampling the local food and night life. An easy walk from the train station.
We drank in the hotel's own bar most nights as the cocktail list is great and the bar staff make a massive effort to keep you entertained.
We'd also booked the wrong number of nights and the staff went out of their way to help us out.
Will definitely stay here again.

I paid 181€+15€ breakfast for one night room (one person), parking 14€ a day. The room was quite dark even it was a 4th floor and just when entered the room and went to the bathroom, I realised the WC was not clean AT ALL and a shower cup (already used of course) was holding from a mirror stick to the wall. Thank God the bed linen was clean (it was the next thing I checked). And the end I cleaned it myself, and my fault for not complaining after all it was paid, but it was 9pm in the afternoon and I had a dinner meeting. Didn't have time and I was tired, it was a business trip. The breakfast was good though, to say sth positive. I do not recommend it.

This is a nice and comfy hotel that is really well located. Front desk staff was super helpful in helping me arrange transport, directions and reservations for Champagne houses in the little amount of personal time I had during a business trip.
From the location, you can easily walk to buses, bars, restaurants and SNCF train station... Be aware-- taxis are stupid expensive in Reims so this is a key benefit. Another bonus was that they actually had a few English tv channels and decent in-room wifi which I, as a frequent business traveler, always appreciate.

When I travel for my job, all I ask is a place to have the chance to relax and work out. Not a big fan of gym, but I love to swim and I love sauna and steam room... In this hotel I found a real sauna (hot and big enough fro 3/4 people) and the steam room... The swimming pool is not huge but big enough to let me swim and have my routine.
Rooms are clean, people at the desk has been always smiling and helpfull to give me all the answers I needed. Located in the city center, walking distance from the main cathedral and on the main street with lots of restaurants and pubs.
Yes: I reccomend it!!!

This hotel is in a great location surrounded by plenty of bars & restaurants. The hotel does offer parking but when I stayed it was full so was directed to the parking garage across the road which was in a small shopping centre with a supermarket & several other stores. The hotel is nice, clean & comfortable. The young man at reception even managed to get us on an English speaking Veuve Clicquot tour at very short notice.

Well situated in the city of Reims. I can't talk this property up enough. From the guest services, the breakfast, cleanliness, the perfect night's sleep that I had after a couple of other hotels before we arrived to this one. We were checked into a room right next to the elevator which I wasn't so excited about, but we never heard anything from inside the room! I wish we had time to use their pool, but we only had so much time in the town. Their bar is fabulous as well. It would be a hotel bar I would visit on weekends if I were a local.
This is the perfect hotel for either business or leisure. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family or whoever I hear that is on their way to Reims. This is not just another Best Western- it is a Best Western Plus- which does make a big difference. The staff was very accommodating and sweet. Thank you for a fabulous stay- I am looking forward to my return in the near future and I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Both in our room and at the pool, the soap bottles were empty. Granted that when I called at the pool someone came immediately but this should not be happening in a hotel of that level.
A special note about the staff at the reception which I have to say was very professional and pro-active.

OK, should probably have realised that on New Year's Day, when we arrived, that not everything in this beautiful city would be open. Very nice welcome, an excellent room as is to be expected from Best Western hotels and an anticipation of the top floor Italian restaurant with views onto the cathedral. Alas, closed. We were somewhat irritated that we hadn't been told on arrival so wandered into a chilly Reims to find somewhere to eat. Didn't have to go far, some places were open but the one we chose is best forgotten. Might suit some tastes (basically a bar with tapas and other food but not inspiring). The chef may not have appreciated working on New Year's Day. We'd go back to the hotel and hope the restaurant was open.

Ideally located in the center of Reims next to the pedestrian area lined with bars and restaurants of all sorts, a 10-minute short walk to the cathedral. Underground garage was full but there is a public park just across the street. Agreeable inner courtyard for a relaxing pause. Modern spacious room of good standard with a small balcony overlooking the pedestrian area, spotless, quiet, excellent bed, all amenities. Good lounge bar, a perfect place to taste champagne. Excellent friendly and attentive service. Minor annoyance: we had to take two lifts to reach the room with a long corridor in between. Definitely a very good choice in Reims.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay in this hotel and will most certainly go back on a return visit to Reims. It has an excellent city centre location with underground parking. It's easy to get around on foot from this hotel both to shop, see the sites and to eat and drink. The staff were friendly and efficient. The rooms are modern and tastefully decorated. We had a super room overlooking the garden nicely decorated with a Christmas tree and lights, so very quiet. The bathroom is also well appointed with a spacious walk-in shower, and also includes a full-length bath. Being Christmas-time, the bar later in the evening was very busy and had a wonderful atmosphere. We were even treated to the barman juggling bottles and it was all very entertaining and lots of fun. Definitely recommended.

Monoprix grocery across road, Christmas market outside door. 1-2 mile walk to Champagne locations and Saint Reimy Basilica. Also really enjoyed Notre Dame Cathedral, nearby restaurants, and shopping. Spacious and premium room set up with walk-in shower and bathtub. Staff very knowledgable, accessible and helpful. All spoke good English and are hard working.

The breakfast was extensive and delicious, and the staff throughout the hotel were efficient and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

This was the first time I went back to this hotel since it was renovated, and I was not disappointed. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable, overlooking the inside courtyard. The bed is very comfortable, and the bathroom is gorgeous, including both a bathtub and separate shower area. The WiFi is free and fast, service is efficient and courteous, and parking right in the hotel garage is a bargain at just 14 Euros a night. The chapel turned dining room, if you have access to it, is beautiful, and the lounge remains a fun spot for a glass of champagne at night. The hotel is easy to access from the highway, and is convenient to the main sights of Reims. An excellent choice, even more so now that the rooms have been re-done.

We like this hotel, it's only a short hop from the South of England but being away with friends is always good and better when you know a reliable standard will be upheld. This trip involved 10 of us in total for the weekend which was washed out a little due to the weather and the fact we'd taken the silly decision in Mid October to bring the moto's!
Anyway, bikes away and time for a swim. For once we actually found people in the pool, normally it's all to yourself but I think at one point there was 10 in the pool/sauna room. The usual welcome in the bar (thanks guys), few drinkies, bottles of bubbles then night on the town. Next day we ate in the hotel restaurant which has become a Saturday tradition, I had langoustine and large prawns just for a change...
All very good, if you come by car or moto please remember to book in advance. Thanks Vincent, Vincent (yes, there is two of them), the bar team, restaurant team and all the rest too as yo make our stays such fun.

A terrific location. Right in the centre of town, a short walk from the Cathedral and close to any shopping you may want to do.
Pretty standard City centre hotel. Good sized bed, separate bath and shower.
Had a small gym and pool area, but not really for the fanatics!
The bar is well known within the local community and is a focal point of the hotel. Mostly focusing on Champagne, a surprise I am sure.
Would stay again.

Central but very small rooms. Even on the 7th floor, the noise from the street outside was disturbing. The staff were friendly and efficient and the restaurant surprisingly good. Also an underground garage. So some plus points. We chose a stay in Reims to break our journey back to England, but we would have done better to stay in the countryside.

Everything about this hotel was excellent. It was modern had outside courtyard seating areas, incorporated older adjacent buildings into the structure well. The bedroom was of a high standard albeit one that would be similar to other high end city center business hotels. The bar area was well laid out.
The restaurant provided menus that gave excellent choice with a wine list to match. The food was cooked to a high standard and the service at table was good.
Breakfast was buffet style with an excellent choice. There was a certain amount of hot food but as this was not chosen I have no comment. Good service if required.

We were a little reluctant to stay at a chain hotel in Reims but the selection of better rated hotels was fairly limited so we choose the Hotel de la Paix and were not disappointed. Good reception, helpful staff, good hot breakfast and excellent central location were all very positive. We had reserved a deluxe room which had a nice balcony in the inner courtyard - comfortable and clean. If you are driving recommend reserving a parking spot in advance (which we did) as availability can be tight.

Good size room with couch and sitting area, and especially large and modern bathroom. The only hotel of our trip that did not have heating and heated towel racks in the bath. Shower doors leak making the toilet wet. Reception was helpful in making hotel reservations before our stay, but was far less responsive once we arrived and needed to make changes on short notice. Convenient location. Underground garage was full the three nights we stayed, so we had to park across the street. We enjoyed the inner courtyard. Business center only allows 20 minutes of access to print boarding passes, so be organized to get it done efficiently. Wifi was extremely buggy and kept cutting off. Wifi log-in is unnecessarily complicated, only allowing one device per registered email address, so I needed to supply two different ones to be able to use my phone and laptop at the same time. The surrounding area was very congested on Friday and Saturday as citizens from the neighboring region came into the city to party.

andeedee2, London, United Kingdom

45 minute TGV train ride from Paris l'est, Reims is a fabulous overnight break to experience a champagne maison tour and browse this art deco-designed town. Best Westerns are seen as hokey and low-rate in the USA, but in Europe, the brand is surprisingly premier. The hotel about 5 minutes from Reims station. The decor is quite modern and simplistic in design, and the rooms did not disappoint. Very clean and impressively large/modern bathroom to boot, our stay was incredibly relaxing. The room design is a bit quirky, some kind of brightly coloured jungle theme [lime green/raspberry accent decor/animal print artwork] could only be explained as very French... but the cleanliness, modern bathroom and overall amenities overshadowed the innocent quirks! Upon searching for champagne bars around town, I can say the hotel's bar was the best as Reims is not exactly a nightlife hub. Great champagne cocktails, chilled-out vibe and non-Parisian prices set tone for a great night out in this town [that has some quality restaurants to boot]. Highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing, premier stay in a town boasting a jaw-dropping cathedral, museum housing the likes of Rodin and Monet, fine dining and champagne galore. Reims has all the best France has to offer in a walkable radius!

Very nice modern and clean hotel in the middle of Reims. Also has its own parking garage in case you are touring the region by car. The hotel is very centrally located about 10 minutes walk from the Cathedral and surrounded by several bars and restaurants. A very nice service is that they have bikes to rent so you can reach some of the Champagne houses on your own. The rooms are comfortable and very nicely decorated. Although the rooms are not that big the shower room is quite big proportionally speaking, which is very nice. Excellent experience overall.

We have stayed at this hotel twice now. Once, back in April and more recently in September. The hotel itself is good quality and its location is fantastic. The hotel is situated right round the corner from the bars and restaurants and is only a ten minute walk from Reims train station, so very convenient for getting around the area. There is a swimming pool (which I did not use) and an underground car park. The car park is charged at 14 euros per night.
The reception staff are 'reasonably' friendly. I came across a couple who seems very dismissive and almost seemed as though they couldn't be bothered helping us. The bar staff are friendly and very attentive. The bar itself is very modern and popular for those heading out for the night as a starting point.
The rooms are comfortable and clean. However, I'd like to make two points. On our first visit, we had Prestige rooms on the first floor looking out of the front of the hotel. The air conditioning in the room is, in a word, awful! The rooms are very hot and stuff and as such we tried to sleep with the windows open. However, we were woken most nights by loud and drunk people coming back from the bars as well as cars and bin lorries in the morning. So, for our second visit, we opted to book Prestige rooms looking into the centre of the hotel. Again, we were on the first floor, but this time we had a balcony door leading onto a shared terrace with other rooms. There isn't a way to leave the door open and secured so that no one can enter during the night and as such, the door had to be closed during the night. The air conditioning still wasn't great, so we had three terrible nights sleep due to the room being hot and stuffy.
The hotel provides "complimentary high-speed wifi." The wifi is indeed free, but it is not high-speed. It is possibly the worst wifi I have ever experienced and is so slow that we couldn't even send an email!
We advised the reception staff of the hot rooms and the poor wifi, but nothing was offered or fixed.
So overall, it is a decent hotel, with a good location and decent quality, but terrible air conditioning and appalling wifi!

Glad I read the reviews on here and stayed at the Hotel de la Paix. The room we got was lovely and recent refurbished - it served us really well throughout our two night stay. We used the pool - very nice, and took advantage of the parking, which was a nice thing to have! Staff were accommodating and helpful - only slight negative here was that we got a bit of a rubbish restaurant recommendation from one of the front desk staff...and heard him the next day recommend it to another couple... But overall very happy with our stay - would go again!

We stayed in this hotel for only one night but with an incredibly mixed review. The rooms are clean and large enough, and the hotel is situated in the town center, only a few steps away from a boulevard full of restaurants. The hotel is modern, offers underground parking, and the breakfast buffet is very good. The restaurant attached to the hotel offered a decent dinner, which was marred by the waiter who picked up the dirty dishes and scraped the plates at the table. And the service of the hotel was disturbing. One of the staff members at the front desk got absolutely angry when we questioned leaving our car keys with them (our car was full and we didn't want to empty it for one night). The staff then refused to give us an extra towel, saying that the policy of the hotel was only 2 towels (1 bath, 1 hand) per guest. That was a first for me; we needed special permission so that I could get an extra towel to dry my hair! Another staff member was helpful in getting us a Pommery Champagne tour.

Stayed here for 3 nights whilst in Reims. The hotel has underground car parking and is centrally located in Reims. There are lots of bars and restaurants in walking distance and a shop across the road. The rooms are modern, comfortable and well equipped. The hotel is quite business like so if you are looking for character then best to stay somewhere else. The prices is not cheap but location is excellent as the rates do not include breakfast.

Meeting up with friends from Oz for one night. Flight delayed, missed train, very late arriving and missed lunch! Hotel was in the centre, staff very helpful. Sorted us with orientation, maps and general help. Within easy walk of cathedral, bars, restaurants and champagne houses. Room clean and comfortable. Buffet breakfast fine. Organised an early morning call and a taxi for 7.30am which all worked. Would definitely stay here again.

My wife I decided to return to France for our annual anniversary trip, this time aiming toward Alsace, with an intermediate stop at Reims. We will be driving later during the trip, but just took the TGV for this leg (30 mins from CDG to TGV Champagne-Ardene, then a 7 minute spur rail train to Reims), then used a taxi to get us and our luggage to the hotel in five minutes or so (fare was 4.5 Euro, but the minimum fare is evidently 7).
As others have noted in prior reviews, Best Westerns in Europe are of a different flavor versus those in the United States. The Paix is a very comfortable place for visit to Reims…with almost all plusses and close to no minuses as follows:
1. The hotel Is several yards away (turn right leaving the hotel) from Restaurant Row, a long street laden with eating options. And if those are not appealing, any zig zag route from the hotel to the Reims cathedral will have you running into many other nice options.
2. The front desk is friendly and helpful, patient with those of us who studied French more years ago than they care to remember. They are fluent in English, but don't seem to mind if you practice your French. I greatly appreciated assistance we were provided in contacting the Avis outlet in Strasbourg, our next stop on the trip, as we were going to arrive a bit later than the reservation had called for.
3. Very comfortable room…we opted for a Deluxe room, was on the 5th floor, looking out southeast toward the cathedral, whose tower tops we could see. Exceptionally quiet. Nice size, had a divider mid room which created a U shaped living space. Good room temperature control. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Separate bath and walk in shower with good temperature and volume of water, options of overhead rain forest vs. hand held spray. Soap is provided by push dispenser at the sink and shower, no little bottles of high end fragrant goodies. If you are used to washcloths and bedside clocks, the Best Western is at a European standard, bring your own. Room lighting is dreadfully poor, but then again, that also seems to be a weak point in most hotels, don't plan on doing any reading once the sun goes down. The chairs in the room are rather disappointing, plastic ones you might typically use at an outdoor barbecue…they did skimp on that. But they did have a built in luggage rack that accommodated two large pieces of luggage, a rare amenity. A small outside terrace was present but we never found time to use it. Terry robes and slippers are in the closet, where one finds the safe.
4. I have no option but to maintain regular internet access…and had virtually NO problems here. The speed and reliability of connection were fine for the most part, although on a couple of occasions the WiFi signal lost strength, thus ending up with speed close to 14.4 dialup, twice I got cut off completely. I noted others having mentioned being only able to have a single device connected to the WiFi at one time…so, I just made sure that once I fired up my browser, and entered the three digit hot-key number you must obtain from the front desk staff, I used different email addresses for each device. In fact, I get the sense that you could enter any email address, real or imagined, to get around previously mentioned limitations per user.
5. Right across the street there is an indoor shopping mall with a Monoprix, which means you can stock up on any groceries, beverages you might wish to have. The alimentation (grocery store) is down one level, very large inventory, always fun to see how many types of cheese exist in this world.
6. The Cathedral is an easy ten minute or so leisurely stroll from the hotel…which is nice if you want to partake of the phenomenonal 9 pm light show, though it had just ended by the time we had gotten to Reims. Lots of very nice retail stores between.
7. I had emailed the hotel prior to my arrival, asking a couple basic questions…the answers were prompt and friendly…only downside was overestimation of the taxi fare from the Gare to the hotel, and I had to re-contact them as they evidently assumed I would be taking a taxi from the Champagne-Ardenne Gare, rather than the vastly closer one at Reims…which also is probably no more than a seven minute walk from the hotel…but more than we wanted to negotiate with our luggage
8. On our first night we were pretty tired, so ate at the hotel restaurant, La Paix, separately reviewed…we thought the service and food were good and the pricing quite reasonable. We ate the 15E hotel breakfast on the first and final days, very airy dining area…more than enough options, as many have described earlier, but don't get your hopes up if you are looking for anything exotic. On one morning we ate le petit dejeuner at Les Gaulois, was 10E for orange juice, coffee, a croissant and a baguette with butter and jam…we decided that was simply too many wasted carbs to consume for breakfast!
Bottom line, this was a five star experience for us, and we thank our TA predecessors for their prior reviews, as they sent us in the correct direction for lodging in Reims.

We stopped in Reims en route to Germany/ Austria for a one night stay. Normally I avoid Best Western consortium but decided to give this a go as very central and not a bad price for a double room. Initial impression spoilt a bit by a very unfriendly receptionist who made no effort to be pleasant!
Parked the car in underground car park (€14 per day) and took own bags to room as no help offered or seemingly available.
Room small but clean and adequate for one night which is all I would recommend.

"Fantastic location"

John O, Belfast, United Kingdom
27/09/2015

This Hotel has a fantastic location right in the center of the city.
They have secured parking under the Hotel which you will need to book (14 euros per night) but there is a public car park near by.
Nice welcome at reception and everything explained about the hotel was nice and clearly done. The room was nice and spacious but typical decor for a chain hotel. Good sized bathroom but the down side is that they provide a pump action soap / shampoo (combined) in the shower and not separate items which you would expect of a 4 star hotel.
The room was very clean as was the main areas of the hotel.
Betty at the reception was a fantastic help during our stay getting information for us and giving us directions etc. A great asset to the hotel.
Breakfast is your typical buffet affair, breads jams, cold meats etc.
The hotel does have a swimming pool but can't comment on it as did not use as too much time spent exploring and drinking Champagne :-).
Yes I would recommend staying here as of its location and not bad rooms.

This property is located near the heart of Reims, so it's an easy walk to several nice restaurants, cafes and champagne houses. Our room was comfortable and the bath was fine, although the separate WC was hard to find in the dark at night :-). Breakfast was decent. Parking is very difficult; spaces in the underground garage are very, very narrow.

ROBYN B, Launceston, Australia

We stayed two nights after driving a long way and the receptionist gave us a very good rate. ( it was after 7 pm.)
We parked over the road in the multi storey car park and was planning to bring it back to the undercover hotel one the next day but never did as they explained they would give us a voucher for the multi storey. ( turned out we only paid 5 euros for the 2 days where as if we parked in theirs it was 14 euros per day
The room was clean,spacious and the bathroom excellent.
Wifi was good,staff very helpful and polite.
Breakfast was good but thought how big the hotel was could have given a bit more cooked options.( only scrambled eggs bacon and sausage) but if that is the only thing you have to complain about you must be happy.

We stayed here for 3 nights and has been really good. In Australia, Best western are seen as just an overnight stay on a road trip. However, this has all the facilities and are kind at the front desk. Rooms are spacious, clean and perfect for exploring the city and surrounds. It's close to everything and you don't have to walk far around the city. We caught a taxi to Veuve which was about $10 Euro. You can then walk to Tattinger and Pommery and either get a cab back or walk 40mins back to the hotel. We decided to walk back and go past the cathedral. Might have been because we had a few champagnes that we thought this was a good idea! Nice hotel, thank you.

This is my 2nd visit to this hotel. Great location in the center of town and walking distance to everything. Rooms are small, but clean and functional. Front desk staff where very helpful; when checking in they told us of a Sound and Light show at the Cathedral that evening and not to miss it.
Ate at their Cafe restaurant one night outside. Food was good, but service was a mess. We were sitting for almost an hour before the appetizers were delivered and one dish was forgotten altogether.

We arrived at the hotel just before rushing for a wedding so could not enjoy the amenities of the hotel such as the pool & health center. Still we very much enjoyed our short stay and appreciated 1) the on-site parking (you have to shoe-horn your car but still OK), 2) its superb location at the center of Reims, only a short walk of the Cathédrale (that you can even see from your room), 3) the well-sized & warm room with some nice features (such as 24-hours AC plugs, opening window in addition to the AC), 4) the huuuuuuuuuge bathroom with separate shower & bath (what a difference vs. the pantry-sized one in Denmark), the super (abundant & varied) breakfast and last but not last, 5) the friendly & efficient staff (superfast check in & check out, friendly & flexible staff at the breakfast eating room).
Only (slight) areas for improvements: the tired plumbing (we had a small leak on the tap) and light in the room (small window).

"Some Good Some Bad"

Kerwin G, Atlanta Georgia

I don't like hotel clerks arguing with me. I approached the front desk and announced my reservation name. The clerk confirmed my first name and then oddly announced that I would be staying for two nights. When I corrected him to clarify that I was only staying one night, he started arguing with me--not a good start. So I pulled out my paperwork to prove my one night visit, and he backed down. (I have been going on two or three 2-4-week European adventures each year, for the past five years. I only have reservations--most prepaid--about half of the time. In that time, I have needed the paperwork, to get what I had paid for, a total of four times. So print out your confirmations and organize them chronologically, stapling each hotel or tour's paperwork separately.) Then he gave me slightly aggravating news. Getting to my room would require two elevator rides. First ride up to the first floor, then walk down a corridor to a second elevator for a ride to your room floor. Why is that aggravating? Good example presented itself the first time I left my room. I got down to the street and immediately realized that I had left my camera in the room. Once again, over the river and through the woods...and the really annoying part is that the French don't get the joke.
So what was good? I had just come from Bayeux. At the Churchill Hotel I had a room that reminded me of my days when I used to see how little I could spend on my European Adventures. The room at Hotel de la Paix was adequately sized and the shower was big enough that I was not required to shimmy around in order to get wet.

The hotel bar was a delight and a great place to chill with a glass of Champagne. The car has a car park that needs to be booked in advance for €14 per night.

"Great city centre stay"

TerryBanham, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

To be honest, I tend to shy away from Best Western Hotels I don't know. As independently owned hotels, it can be difficult to predict the quality of the hotels in the chain. We choose this hotel as a stopover on the way home from a holiday in southern France for two reasons; location and they accept dogs.
The hotel turned out to be an excellent option. It's excellently located for visiting the centre of Reims, including the cathedral and there is an abundance of choices of places to eat all within steps of the hotel.
The hotel,itself is modern but sympathetically aligned with the older buildings around. The courtyard area is particularly attractive. Rooms were large with a very good bathroom - modern and very clean with both a bath and a walk in shower. The bed was excellent and the room overall was clean and very comfortable.
There is an underground car park but you will need to reserve a space and there is a charge. If you can't get a space in the hotel car park there is a public car park right across the street.
This is a terrific hotel for visiting beautiful Reims and we would definitely stay again.

I would certainly use this hotel again.

This was a short notice booking but from the moment we drove into the centre of Reims this was an easy stay at a welcoming hotel. Staff were attentive but not in your face, from reception to parking the car in the underground car park, to the breakfast in the morning this was an absolute joy. I had a triple bedded room which was situated on the top floor near the lift – but there are only 6 rooms on the top floor – but because the hotel is so well sound proofed, we never heard anything. In fact the noise of the nearby abbey clock was the thing that made most noise! Décor is a sort of 1970's retro but nonetheless worked really well. As the hotel is slap bang in the centre of town it was a short walk to explore central Reims. We WILL return! Excellent value.

My wife and I spent one night in Reims at the Hotel de la Paix. The hotel is conveniently located in the center of the old part of the town. I don't think that I could throw a stone to the cathedral, but we did walk there and to two champagne houses for tours and tastings. The hotel staff were very helpful and pleasant. They recommended and booked for us a reservation at an excellent nearby restaurant. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was very good. We highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed 3 nights here at the beginning of August and we're delighted with this hotel. The lobby was attractive, the staff friendly, and our room was lovely and spacious. A short walk put us on a nice pedestrian street with numerous cafes and restaurants. Convenient to the cathedral. The buffet breakfast at €15 was pretty good, and the courtyard was a nice place to sit and enjoy a glass of champagne. I would stay here again, and highly recommend it to anyone.

We stayed here for two nights as part of our champagne tour of Veuve Cliquot, Taittinger and a small local champagne producer. We had a very pleasant stay: the room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The staff were very polite and the terrace area outside was a really enjoyable place to sit in the sun and enjoy a drink.
The bathroom was huge. Perhaps this is a feature of the Privilege room, which we stayed in: the shower was huge, which was great.
I would recommend this hotel if you're visiting Reims. It's only ten minutes walk from the train station, too, so is very convenient if you happen to be coming on the TGV from Paris, as we were.

This is a very nice hotel with outstanding service, located just around the corner from the main pedestrian street with all the restaurants. A better location couldn't be found! The hotel itself is nice, modern, clean, and fully air conditioned (very important on the days we were there!) The courtyard is a pleasant place to sit and have a drink in the early evening.
Breakfast is nicely presented and replete with variety. All of the food is prepared properly and doesn't have that feel of having been sitting on a buffet for hours. Even the eggs were soft-scrambled (a particular point with me, as I hate overcooked eggs!) The staff were extremely helpful, especially when we had to call them to find our way into the hotel after a number of streets were barred for construction. All of the staff spoke English and were willing to speak to me in French or English, as I preferred to try to work on my French while I could.
I can't recommend this hotel highly enough! I would definitely go there again! (And make sure you go to the Cathedral to see the Marc Chagall stained glass windows while you're in Reims.)

We had stayed here before in 2012 and really enjoyed it. In fact I have used this hotel several times because it has A/c and a pool which is a boon in July and August. The restaurant has excellent food and service at reasonable prices. The room we had last time was a better layout although the room this time was fine. 1. After check in we were sent to the wrong room at the end of the corridor on the 4th floor... these things happen, don't they? 2. NOT the fault of the hotel - Woken at 5am by inconsiderate guests... but other than an apology, no action, and I had to ask for a delayed check out time. I got the impression that there were groups in the hotel as the bar was full all night which was probably the cause of our 5am problem... This also explains why we rated sleep quality as poor. 3. I used the convenient underground car park (14 Euros) and was asked to leave my car key at reception although I could not see why as I wasn't blocking anyone. When I returned my seat had been moved yet the car looked like it was in the same place.

The bed could have been better, the internet did not work in our room, and dogs are allowed in the breakfast room which we thought was questionable concerning the hygiene...

I was so excited to visit Reims and booked this hotel based on TripAdvisor reccomendations. However, from the get go this place was a nightmare. First we were not welcomed or greeted. Our room was ready early, but smelled of skunk so terribly we had to open the window. The check-in was easy and they did call a champagne house for us for a reservation. The bar staff was a joke, we were left sitting for 45 minutes after we asked for a second round and when we went to complain the front desk staff was rude and said they didn't have a manager on staff. It also seems that people who work in this hotel have never eaten out in Reims because the struggle for them to reccomend a place for us was beyond and when asked questions they told us they didn't know and have never eaten there. Really? Not one restaurant you could reccommend to your guests? And then when we finally got told of a place they had heard about but again never been, they gave us the wrong directions. Needless to say, untrained unfriendly staff. Poor communication and obviously no management to rectify a problem when we had it. Worst visit on our whole two week trip.

This is an excellent choice if you want 4 star equivalent hotel accommodation. The rooms are large and furnished in a modern style. They are spotlessly clean and the beds very comfortable. Breakfast is very good. The pool is small but nice for a quickish dip and the gym has lots of machines and a sauna. The position of this hotel is perfect for a visit to the cathedral, museums, market, shops etc. being right in the middle of the town. We would definitely go back.

The rooms are clean, could be a bit bigger or different arranged. The desk is hardly usable, there is no space left between the bed and the desk. But the rest of the comfort and the service is very good. The breakfast has a wide choice. The lunches were very enjoyable.

Dear Sir,
I thank you for giving us your feedback following your business trip in our property.
I guess you had a Tradition room. We also have named Privilège with more space and more comfort.
Looking forward to welcoming you again in Reims,
Best regards,

The hotel is very well situated in the centre of Reims. The outdoor restaurant is just around the corner. Car free centre. Especially in summer the nearby illuminated Cathedral is worthwile to visit. We enjoyed this stay !
